I was sort of half watching last night while faffing on MN Blush. When an ad came on TV encouraging Transwomen to take part in sports?
What company was it?

Its also ridiculous that we're not allowed to say that.

The testosterone claim came from the same place as all the ones relating to TW having menstrual cycles & periods, presumably. Hmm All part of the brave new biological world in which we are clownfish. Or something that makes about as much sodding sense & is rooted in marginally less reality. Those of us who try to assert there are a mere two sexes, however, are the ones who are ignorant of how science works. Which is also why we object to “cis”, incidentally - all the cool scientists were on board with it IMMEDIATELY because of course THEY got it.

I think “PCOS makes you intersex” (NB not my phrasing!) was in the comments too; & please GOD don’t let that particular strand of crashingly offensive-appropriative nonsense take any kind of hold! There is already an odd insistence from some TRAs that VSDs are as common as having red hair - I suppose if you sling in everyone with PCOS that’d do it, but can you imagine the poor HCPs having to navigate treating & supporting people who’d been told by the internet PCOS is a VSD (to say nothing of [what’s left of] support services for people with ACTUAL VSDs)!?
