A number of conservative groups say transgender girls have an innate advantage in sports because of being assigned male at birth, despite rules in place by both the National Collegiate Athletic Association and the International Olympic Committee that allow trans athletes to compete without restriction after medically suppressing testosterone levels.

No, males regardless of their chosen and claimed "gender identities" have many innate advantages in sports because they have gone through the male mini-puberty that occurs in the first six months after birth, and because they have gone through male puberty in adolescence.

Male puberty, which usually lasts 2 to 5 years, in African American males typically starts at age 10. This means the two teenage TIMs in CT - who both started competing in girls track when they were 15 - had already gone through male puberty by the time they first decided to barge in on girls's sports so they could trounce female runners and rack up tons of medals and awards, including the state "Courage Award" and the 2019 "Athlete Ally Action Award" given out by the organization Martina Navratolova started to support lesbian, gay and bi athletes that now is all about the tranz.

This has nothing to do with being "assigned male at birth." These guys do not have DSDs that caused them to be born with misshapen male genitals, and so were incorrectly sexed at birth. Also, they were male from the moment of conception. Sex is observed and recorded at birth, not arbitrarily "assigned."

What's more, since this story is about the USA and pertains exclusively to males who were born in the past couple of decades to mothers who seem well-off enough to have gotten routine medical care during their pregnancies, it's pretty much a dead certainty that that the sex of each and every one of these cheating pricks was ascertained scientifically (by scans and/or genetic testing) long before birth.

Nearly all the other American TIM athletes invading women's scholastic sports in the USA have decided to wait until they are well past puberty before they began "transitioning" so they could get the chance to trounce female athletes in collegiate athletics whilst attending university (such as Craig CeCe Telfer, currently NCAA national champion in women's 400 meter hurdles, "Big Sky Female Athlete of the Week" Jonathan June Eastwood of U of Montana and Linsey - sp? Hecox. Eastwood and Hecox are the two TIMs involved in efforts to quash Idaho's new save women's sports law).

Also, NBC is wrong in lumping together the NCAA and IOC as if they both had the same regulations concerning testosterone suppression in TIMs who want to compete in women's events.

The IOC requires males to reduce their T for one year to below a certain limit (10 nmo/L) - still absurdly high, but at least they've specified a level - for one year, and requires males to provide records of medical testing that shows they've kept their T below that level for a full 12 months prior to women's events they compete in.

But the NCAA rules are much vaguer. The NCAA does not say a male must lower his T to any specific level, nor does he have to provide any medical tests showing this is true. He simply has to take, or say he has taken, "testosterone suppressing medication" at some point during the 12 months prior to when he wants to compete in women's sports. A male is entirely compliant with the NCAA trans regulations if he simply takes a single (female hormone) birth control pill once at any time during the year prior to when he begins competing in women's events.
