    Is that even the right measure? If a woman born with XY chromosomes can have a uterus and give birth naturally, what use is it?

    She tested within normal testosterone levels for a woman which is significantly lower than the range for men. 15-70 vs 300-1000 ng/dL

      There are also women who have XY chromosomes, but they don’t have receptors for testosterone. They can even have very high levels of testosterone but it doesn’t do anything, why wouldn’t they be able to compete as women?

      And why would having an uterus and being able to give birth naturally even matter? Are infertile humans not allowed to compete in the Olympics?

        I think you misread the post, which is about whether XY chromosomes even matter as a measure.

        The specifics haven’t been provided but it was said she tested within the normal range.
