IAAF has allowed it to compete until judge in Switzerland rules. I am not sure if it should as they won’t take the reduction drugs

She should be able to compete. She's not a man. She's a woman with naturally high levels of testosterone. There is no limit on the amount of naturally generated testosterone in male athletes. Not sure why they feel the need to place a cap on female athletes.

How do you determine natural vs unnatural testosterone? And theres definitely a physical limit to how much is produced.
If the highest count ever for a woman is 8 and this woman comes out as 25, theres something different.

She's subject to the same PHD testing as other female athletes. If she passes, she runs. Her increased testosterone levels have never been attributed to artificial doping.

Her natural limit is much higher than other women.
I don't mind if she competes with women. She has a genetic advantage. That matters in sports.
Shaq's genetics gave him an advantage. It's the way sports are, and the entire clearance process for her has been determining this is naturally occurring.

Everyone drooled over 15 yr old Lebron because he looked like he was 30. This woman gets a hard time simply because she's freaky ugly and she beats the shite out of other women who bitch and moan about fairness.

She has XY chromosomes dude. People are giving her a hard time because of her Y chromosome that she competes against XX with. Not because she is ugly.

Oh shite, does she really?
And she's got a vagina?

And supposedly internal testicles
They have tried gender tests like was given in 70’s but results are not conclusive

She's a female, and she hasn't been caught for doping.

You ever see Shaq compared to the other dudes he played against? That didn't exactly seem like a fair comparison. I really don't see any difference, they both have advantages that came naturally.

Well, that and the Y chromosome she has. I think the Y chromosome is a bigger deal to her competitors than her appearance.

Let's just get rid of all gender differentiation. No separate male/female sports. I don't see how this isn't the only possible solution.
