Gamete testing solves the issue. Period.

I’m not trying to erase women I’m trying to change your definition of women back to the traditional meaning. External genitalia.

What, nothing? No surprise.

You're smart enough to figure out what other testing is needed to ensure fairness in competitive sports

[Ducbutter]

Please enlighten us.

After reading this opinion piece by Doriane Lambelet Coleman in the Washington Post I am reconsidering my earlier opinion.

Apparently XY DSD athletes competing in the Olympics is more common than I thought. It’s a good read if you can get past the paywall.

This is what changed my mind.

In 2019, the Court of Arbitration for Sport found a “striking over representation” of athletes with XY DSD on the female podium, going back decades. XY DSDs are male conditions.

I assumed that the representation of intersex athletes would be fairly low. Apparently that's not the case.

I don't think there is a large number of competitors who have this disorder but, those who do have a significant physical advantage over females. Naturally they excel. It's not fair and in the combat sports, it puts women in danger of significant injury.
Biology trumps socialization.
