I fought they got rid of the limit? (Okay after some research, they got rid of the limit for women with XX chromosomes, even women with XX chromosomes and disorders in sexual development (DSD) have no testosterone limit. The limit only remains for athletes with XY chromosome related DSD.)
Caster Symenia is an intersex woman, and these rules do unfairly target people like her.
In fact all of the women mentioned have some form of XY chromosome DSD. This is effectively a ban on intersex or XY chromosome DSD athletes in the womens division, requiring them to regulate their test levels.
Caster Semenya was assigned female at birth (according to her wiki), making her cis.
Okay I’ll edit the comment, terms around gender for intersex people (such as weather to identify as cisgender even if your gender identity matches your gender assigned at birth) are controversial, so I’ll change the comment and remove anything saying that these female athletes are cisgender or not cisgender. At the end of the day they are women and their right to compete is being unfairly targeted, and that’s what matters.
sounds like being intersex doesn’t have anything directly to do with being cis or trans
