How deep does the suckhole go?

So now we have a situation where a biologically born female is not being allowed to compete as a woman, because her natural levels of testosterone are a couple hundreds (as in 0.01) parts per liter more than the new rules allow.

On the flip side, someone born a biological male with the biological attributes to prove they were a male, are allowed to compete as women, as long as they can manipulate their own testosterone level to be below the amount allowed.

As pointed out, the best of the best of the best athletes generally are that way because they are biologically gifted. A male athlete may have naturally higher amounts of testosterone, they may have higher muscle density, they may have quicker muscle reactions. In athletics we generally do not punish people for having natural ability.

While we in part punish people who use unnatural means to increase their levels of testosterone and other aspects of their physical being because it can give them an unfair advantage, we also do so because most of the time steroids and other means to garner these advantages are medically dangerous.

But in the case of this particular woman athlete there is nothing inherently dangerous about her having naturally high testosterone, just as there is nothing dangerous about a man with naturally high levels of testosterone. She also is not doing anything to increase that level unnaturally. She is being punished because the powers to be had to set arbitrary standards for how to define what being female is, because being born female and remaining female is no longer good enough.
