    What is a “full blown man” in your definition based on what I pasted above?

    Also, who gets to decide that and what is the test?

      Anyone who fails the tests for the other cases you list. The governing body of the sport gets to decide, and tests are decided by scientists and doctors.

        The governing sport body in this case being the IOC. Who did decide. You just don’t seem to care for their decision.

        So make up your mind.

          When did I say I didn’t like their decision? I said I wanted more information.

              For the same reason anyone wants to know anything. Because if anyone is to have an informed conversation about this, we need to know how they come to their conclusions. Their lack of transparency is a large part of why this controversy exists in the first place.

                It’s none of your business what’s between their legs or in their chromosomes. This wouldn’t even be a question for anyone who wasn’t an athlete.

                    Which do you think would be more likely to discourage girls and women from participating in competitive sports, the chance that they might have to compete against a “real” woman or the requirement that they let everyone else know about their private medical records?
