A number of leading sporting organisations are reviewing their policy on transgender athletes amid concerns that men who transition to become women could receive an unfair advantage in female sport.
…
The IOC has a “consensus group” working on the issue and aims to provide updated guidelines this year. The issue is separate to the debate on intersex athletes such as the South African runner Caster Semenya, who is legally challenging the IAAF’s rules that they should have chemically-lowered testosterone.

Not before time.

Testosterone is a red herring. At the moment I think limits on testosterone for MtF is more used as a form of gate-keeping to try and ensure that it is only 'genuine' trans people who can compete as women. As this article shows, the rules are more concerned about inclusion than fairness.

Of course, TRAs like McKinnon can't stand any form of gatekeeping so they will try and ensure that there are no barriers to men competing as women.
