I'm aware, but those women aren't trans. They have disorders of sexual development, were assigned female at birth.

Laurel Hubbard is trans, was assigned male at birth, and competed under hormone therapy. (Which studies have shown reduces or eliminates the biological male advantage for trans women.)

We can discuss DSD AFAB athletes as well, but I was focused on trans athletes.
