I've proposed that it be set at the 99th percentile of cis female athletes, the logic being obvious. I've seen no rationale for the IOC's limit, which is more than 3 times that amount.Then you should go read the commissions review. You and I don't have to agree with it, but you could only be calling it arbitrary as hyperbole.
Quote:And regarding Mike Tyson in a dress, yes, it is an issue. In Connecticut, a high school runner is allowed to compete as a female just on declaration - there's been no hormone therapy whatsoever.The man in a dress strikes again! Perhaps that could be resolved. I'm surprised that some random high school is so "progressive". Most of the time state sport regs force a competitor in with their birth sex..such as a certain trans wrestler from earlier forced to compete with the girls.

Quote:My point is that a tiny physiological advantage cannot be written off with competitive competition. It's too, well, competitive!
They're "written off" constantly between cis gender competitors. Is it a small advantage, btw..and is that small advantage larger or greater than the effect of transitioning?
