People who think open borders are good for the USA also believe this ^ is a good idea

Turnabout is fair play:

Meaning - It is allowable to retaliate against an enemy's dirty tricks by using the same ones against them.

So long as Caster Semenya is banned from competing against women because her hormones aren't in line with what they want, this guy should be allowed to compete against women so long as his hormones are within the correct range.

So long as Caster Semenya is banned from competing against women because her hormones aren't in line with what they want, this guy should be allowed to compete against women so long as his hormones are within the correct range.

This thinking could actually be part of the problem. The assumptions that only level of testosterone are relevant here is going to start to get challenged.

There may be, and if you think about it likely is, more to it than just hormone levels. It could be best to start from a point of separating by sex, and not by gender identity.

They did start there, but now realize the gun may have been jumped on athlete's rights and political advocacy here as we see champions come and records fall to competitors of the opposite sex.

Level of hormones isn't going to be enough, obviously, and expect groups to try to point that out through research or calling for a separate category, especially as records fall...

British group “Fair Play for Women” also recently urged the sport authorities to “wake up” after Hubbard won the titles and argued that sports must be separated by sex rather than gender identity.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) issued guidelines in 2015 stating that transgender athletes can compete in women’s category as long as their testosterone levels are below 10 nanomoles per liter for at least 12 months prior to their first competition, according to Reuters.
Despite that, critics say the science shows that such rules don’t mitigate the fact that biological male athletes still enjoy natural advantages.
The controversy even prompted top officials to weigh on the issue, with Samoan Prime Minister Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi telling the outlet that Hubbard shouldn’t participate in another category.

“I really don’t think he – she – should ever participate in this (tournament), but I realize we have to (be) inclusive and we cannot exclude these people,” she told Reuters. “They ought to participate in these Games in their own category.”
