Holy shit this gave me info I did not previously have. So if you're a woman with unusually high testosterone you're at about 2.7nm/L but the rules for trans women is that you have to be under 10?!?! That's a huge difference between rare levels found in females and what's just blindly accepted coming in as trans.

Not only that but this article suggests that even with hormone suppression, any muscle advantages and bone structure will essentially stay in place. (It is my uneducated guess here that if the trans person has gone through puberty as a male then the advantages will be there.)

This is some crazy shit.

Looking into the rules and regulations regarding women's sports and the "intersex" atheletes who have obliterated their competition was eye opening. How it is not regarded as cheating is beyond me. At least the powerlifting organization has come to their senses.
