How would you determine which athletes should be allowed to compete against women? I’m a man and most women Olympians could beat me at their sport, but that doesn’t mean they would be able to compete against men.

From a guy, it is absolutely horrifying that someone would have to go through that procedure just to compete. Fuck. Talk about shitty losers. No one measures Usain Bolt’s dick to make sure he’s a dude.
So many things wrong with this argument. First of all, what is “normal women”? Given that they’re not testing for elevated testosterone unless you’re flagged (likely by winning), there’s no evidence that anyone on the field has less than elevated testosterone. And since hormone levels exist along a range in all women…
If we are going to hold two separate events for men and women, then we have to have some distinct dividing line between who is “a man” and who is “a woman.” It may not be fair to everyone, but you do have to draw a line somewhere.
