They’re the single most “woke” nation on planet earth - the USA is a mere pretender by comparison. Instant gun confiscation, biological males replacing female athletes, climate change groups declaring themselves to be white supremacists… the list goes on.
So instead of going through the whole charade of actually lifting the weights we can just measure everyone’s testosterone levels and whoever has the highest gets declared the winner?
I want you to tell me your real argument.
And that is key. Biological males should not compete in women’s sports. If this picks up, I strongly believe that third world countries will exploit this to their advantage with groomed transgender athletes.

I can’t believe it’s not 5 O’ clock shadow!
They do exist.
Caster Semenya is going through this. Her situation might be tiny bit different because many are not sure which gender is dominate.
Anyway, her testosterone levels are above the allowable level. So for a time she was forced to take medication to take her levels down, but unfortunately it had an adverse impact. So the IAAF(the world governing body for Track & Field) told her that she could not compete in anything under the 5k.
The IAAF rules require women to reduce their levels below 5 nanomoles per liter of blood. According to the IAAF, most females, including elite athletes, have levels of testosterone circulating naturally in their bodies of 0.12 to 1.79 nanomoles per liter, while men have levels that can be dozens or even hundreds of times higher — typically 7.7 to 29.4.
Her levels were slightly above 5 and still too high. Why would a biological male be allowed to compete at 10?

Semenya is intersex, not just elevated testosterone. And married to a woman. “She” is a male
Not a good example.

Its typical for men to explain to women how they actually think and feel.
My view is clear- being born exceptional is fine and dandy. That person, like Bolt is in running, will excel and win among the gender they’re born into. These sporting types on both sides already exist and they tend to win, too. Their advantage didn’t come about by the switching from one gender to another, which normally provides men with more advantages over women. Women are told to give back some of what they’ve already fought for years to gain… in order to give advantages back to a few fellas, period.
I await your translation of what my post meant.

You got told anyway.
And yet a real biological male with double Semenya’s testosterone is allowed to compete. Go figure.
I’m not sure what you’re saying.
The line has to be drawn somewhere. These athletes just want to compete and its up to the governing bodies to enact and enforce the rules as they see fit. There is no easy answer. But there has to be an answer.
The claim isn’t unfairness as the sole argument. Every person is born with a unique gift. Those that exploit their god given gift can achieve greatness. Some do and some don’t.
That has nothing to do with the unfairness of someone usurping those special gifts by having a biological male competing as a female.

Not in high school they don’t. That is where a lot get their scholarships to move into higher education.
Semenya has never been proven to be female.
There is an easy answer. Biological males compete as males, not females. Pretty cut and dried.
If transgender athletes want to compete, they can have their own special competitions.

New Zealand is entering this male as a female but the Olympic committee allowed it in 2015. It’s wrong and even Jenner said it was wrong, who may be the best source of the actual truth of anybody qualified on this matter on the planet. Biden is just a tool, being used by those calling his shots, who are not being revealed. If Biden isn’t smart enough to see how unfair this is to every female who has worked her ass off, it just adds more wood to the fire of why I think he’s a political turd.
