This article is fucking terrifying on an existential level.

"The I.A.A.F. had argued that athletes classified with “differences of sexual development” — particularly those who possess testes and natural testosterone levels in the male range"

You mean men.

"But the sports court expressed some “serious concerns” on Wednesday about the fairness and practical application of testosterone limits in the future"

Women with testes aren't women. This is the dumbest thing I've ever read.

"The court also expressed concern about a lack of concrete evidence that athletes with differences of sexual development gain a significant advantage at 1,500 meters and the mile."

There's significant differences. WR for women at 1500M is 3 minutes 50 seconds. Men's 3 min 26 sec

At the highest and lowest levels of competition, you're dealing with effectively two different events, and as the IAAF deals with competitions between peak athletes, these differences are EXTREMELY pronounced.

(Yeah, 24 seconds is a big difference. Its over 100m of difference, if we'retaking that time and putting it to approximate distance.)

Caster Semenya, an African runner, claims discrimination. Problem: she's a dude. She's been posing as a female athlete for awhile, and much of the results of a gender test the IAAF had her take are hidden.

Because she's a dude.

Are there possible intersex abnormalities? Sure.

But then, Semenya continues to claim to be a female, and refuses to explain the difference. Meanwhile, she's blowing away the competition as bad as the 'transgender' athletes are in Connecticut.

These people are insane, and the IAAF is having to do everything in its power to simultaneously keep women competing in their competitions and not outright boycotting them, AND they're running scared from the PC police, which this court seems to have been full of.

GMOD 2020. Just fucking end this bullshit.
