They are men. Period.

If it is, as suspected, 5ARD, this means:
The baby starts developing as a healthy male (XY, testes, testosterone, all the internal plumbing).
But the baby lacks a protein needed to make a penis grow. This means that baby’s external genitals can develop as female-looking. Hence, baby might be registered at birth as female.
During puberty, the male internal bits start kicking out huge amounts of testosterone (as per male) and their external genitals start to become more masculine. It’s a kind of “catch up”.
Not only that, but testosterone at puberty - produced by all that internal male biology - does all the regular stuff it does to muscles blah blah.
So their body - the thing they run, jump and punch with - has developed like any other male.
That’s why they shouldn’t be in female categories. It’s got precisely nothing to do with their external genitalia and what their paperwork says.”
