Doesn't that leave the door open a little bit to GraceT's argument that women are on a spectrum. I.e. she's an X chromosome woman, but she looks too much like a dude and has high T, so she's really not a woman for competition purposes. I still struggle with T being the defining measure of the level of advantage (or of manhood vs womanhood) and "forcing" a woman to take a serious feminizing hormone, a potential health risk, to compete. A woman having high T doesn't mean she necessarily has an advantage, just that her T levels are closer to a normal male vs normal female...i.e. more guy like than girl like.
Agreed that the sticky wicket is the level of natural vs unnatural T. However, I would think you might be able to alleviate that issue somewhat with baseline testing, and address the spikes which would be more likely to indicate doping. (I'm way outside of my area of expertise here).
I struggle with someone telling me that if I had a masculine daughter that she's too manly and needs to dial it down with hormone treatment.
I guess I'm just simple minded. You have only X or X's, your a woman, or female. If you have any Y's your a man, or male. If you have a condition or genetics where you have either feminine or masculine traits outside of typical biology*? So be it, you may have hit the lottery for sports, but probably not so much for other things.
*Although the only issue that seems to concern anyone is biological males leaning female when it comes to sports, bathrooms and massages.
