Dtc //Presently, World Athletics requires that transgender athletes and athletes with differences of sexual development have testosterone levels ≤5 nmol/L//
I don't believe that's right? The average for females is 2.8 and it has only recently been reduced to 5 or less. This is why Caster is banned from racing with women this year- excessive testosterone.
But for transgender athletes, it's 10 or less. And- only taking hormones into account.
Ironically, I'm fairly sure Caster would have been better off claiming to be a man claiming to be a woman. And could have entered.

^Lol,pixie. If only Caster knew.
Some of the pro lobby on here seem to be a bit confused.
Nobody on here, as far as I can see, is calling for the abolition of transgender people.
People can be what they want to be, do what they want to do as long as they're not hurting other (non consenting) people.
Believing they have an unfair advantage over women when it comes to sport doesn't make us bigots or transphobes.

Nooo...... I'm not talking about transexual people. As I'm sure you obviously well know... Lauren Hubbard has never (and it isn't required) had any ops whatsoever.
To apply.... you need to claim your are a woman (magic words, which change everything) and take enough hormones to pass. That doesn't change musculature, bone density, blood cells, etc... just hormones.
Why are you thinking the only physical difference between a male and female- after puberty!- is hormones... is more the question?
Even one year old boys and girls are clearly different body shapes.

Careful Pixie or you'll be borderline committing a hate crime yourself. But of course you're not to blame just because you're ignorant. That's why I provided the YouTube video for you for educational purposes. If we all learn about this it'd be easier for everyone. Especially Trans people.
You'll see ops aren't anything to do with it.
Please... Just watch the video for god sake and stop spouting your opinions on the topic.
I see you're quite involved in the "Why Do Many People State Their Opinions As If They Are Facts?" thread.
