    Who has insane testosterone counts? Most trans women have <1nmol/L. The boundary at the olympic level is 10nmol/L

      You say that as if it’s true for all trans women. It isn’t. I agree with you however that the IOC’s solution introduced in 2003 works fine. The only reason it’s coming up now is because of politics.

        I explicitly said “most” and I stand by that. It is absolutely true for most trans women that their T levels are far below average cis women.

      Ok so we limmit the testosterone do we limmit the muscle growth from when the testosterone wasnt limmitted? Do we limmit the bone structure? Do we limmit the brain chemistry? How far do we go trying to define what is a woman and by doing that are we not excluding people?
