  1. reading about Caster Semenya and testosterone limits... this quote seems weird to me, as trans women would generally fall within the limits for testosterone theguardian.com/sport/blog/2019/feb/18/caster-semenya-testosterone-levels-female-sport-court

      I also find it endlessly frustrating how these debates happen without any acknowledgement that transgender men exist.

        I mean, generally, there's not a single clear fair line you can draw, because gender (and competition) doesn't work like that. And it's useful to draw some line. Just... people aren't lying about their gender to win medals at sport, okay? Trans people really do exist, I promise.
