replyThis makes it seem that women without DSD need not bother competing.
Anyone who's not genetically gifted need not bother competing, though. Would you ban basketball players above a certain height?

replyWell, women's basketball did ban males from competing for, well, ever, and no one bat an eye.
Like I said in another thread on this story, it's not men who are complaining that women are unfairly competing, it's women who are complaining that men are unfairly competing.
