AFAICT this ruling basically only applies to XY women with high testosterone levels. XXY men (who would have low T levels) still compete against other men, and XXX women (with less than typical T levels even for women) compete with other women. There are many other variations though, but I do’t know any other than XY(f.) which would endanger gender separation in sports. Note that trans women (m->f) get to compete with other women. That’s part of the unfairness here. A male athlete can surgically make their body female and be allowed to compete, but Caster Semenya who was born essentially the same way is blocked from competing. |

It’s not just surgically. Athletes are required to reduce their testosterone levels, which is the issue here.
