Message: [QUOTE="Midean, post: 3286777, member: 10185"] The testing is thorough. All Olympic athletes go through a process called gender testing which involves examining genitals, chromosomes, and testosterone levels. There have been several cases in Olympic history of female athletes competing while having male dominant genes. Foekje Dillema was tested (1949) and found to have the typical female phenotype and was thus a woman, but when she died, further tests where done as she was a very masculine woman and it was found she had an extra Y chromosome that these days would be called a genetic mosaic. This is where it all stated with the gender testing as it was determined she would have had an unfair advantage against purely female competitors due to a higher level of testosterone. Caster Semenya is the latest case of this situation in Olympic sports, and she is also a female, but falls under the classification of a genetic mosaic due to the presence of the extra Y chromosome. She has to take hormone lowering drugs in order to be allowed to compete in female events. So how on earth does a transgender male to female athlete get to participate in a female event, given that even though their current hormone levels fall into typical female ranges, he/she has lived most of their life as a male and their body has developed accordingly due to higher testosterone levels. Its woke culture taking priority over science and that is insanity. [/QUOTE]
