[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The ruling specifically applies to athletes with 46XY DSD, i.e. female athletes with XY (male) chromosomes. If she wasn't intersex, the ruling wouldn't apply to her and no one would be talking about this.[/quote] More specifically it applies to female athletes competing in certain events in certain sports. The decision was fair. Not everyone gets to be involved in everything all the time just because they want too. And it doesn't matter that its genetics. Genetics excludes people. It's reality. [/quote] Right. For example, people with arm spans longer than their height should only get to swim in longer-distance events.[/quote]
