Why?
We know things are different because of the way that they are.
It is one thing to have a quirk of the same organs, it’s another to be born with a different organ that effectively produces performance enhancing hormones.
But fine, then ban cis-women with unnaturally high testosterone.
What is "unnatural" though?
Atypical of the vast majority
That's a strange redefinition of words.
The definition is literally “not being in accordance with nature or consistent with a normal course of events”. How is that a redefinition?
Because those women's testosterone levels are in accordance with nature, and caused by normal events.
Normal COURSE of events, i.. not normal for a woman in general terms.
People commonly have high cholesterol. It’s still considered abnormal when you get a lipid panel back.
You said it sarcastically, but doesn't that truly address the situation that you and others believe is occurring, in a non-discriminatory way?
