I agree that being previously male, especially during and after puberty, confers advantages that don't go away after hormone treatment, however, if it's not a contact sport, and they're not taking away anyone's medal, who cares? Who is harmed? 

No one wants to allow puberty blockers or hormone treatments before age 18 either, so they are forced to go through that male puberty whether they want to or not, then you refuse to allow participation with women after completing hormone treatment. So they have no option at all to deal with a condition that most of them did not chose. 

It comes across as mean spirited and seems to have nothing to do with women's rights or the integrity of the sport.  If you just don't like intersex people, that's fine, but it's your problem, not theirs.

I do not dislike intersex people. You use this statement anytime someone pushes back.The bold is your attempt to put words in my mouth. Please resist that as it is incorrect and your issue. (unless you just prefer to lie about people)

Next the person involved as well as the Chinese competitor were disqualified recently. 
From the article...
"Based on DNA tests, we identified a number of athletes who tried to trick their colleagues into posing as women. According to the results of the tests, it was proved that they have XY chromosomes. Such athletes were excluded from competition," Kremlev said.

This test is also going to be used in the 2028 Olympics here. Additionally our state department will not allow passports that do not match the sex of the individual. These will not be allowed in the country. 

Bottom line if they are trans or have male chromosomes they compete in the male category not the female. If they want to give the highest finishing person like this a medal fine with me.  This has everything to do with women's rights and integrity of the sports.
