Obviously this won’t work for all sports, but things like football, track, soccer, it would allow for de-gendered team, even allowing athletes with the skills but not the genetically-endowed physical attributes to have a place to play.

Note: I know very little about sports and being on a sports team, so please point out anything that doesn’t make sense.

    Like, there are women out there with higher testorone than the average man

    No, that doesn’t happen, the adrenal glands and ovaries do not produce enough t to reach even very low male levels, testosterone for the most part is produced in the testicules which cis women do not have. that much testosterone would transition a woman into a man, they would grow beard and get a deeper voice, that’s how HRT works for FtMs.

      Plenty of people with XY chromosomes can’t grow facial and have a high pitched voice well into their 20s or even after

      And plenty of people with XX chromosomes shave/wax/bleach facial hair and have deep voices.

      Hormones aren’t binary, there’s a bunch of different hormones that can be in a lot of different ranges

      And that’s not even getting into the other options besides XX/XY

      Stop trying to make everyone conform to your binary views on gender.
