No, I would not find it fair, precisely because Trans-types have either purposely altered themselves, or are merely claiming womanhood on the basis of nothing more than their say-so.Would you find it fair to put those intersex within a Trans or other based category as its too difficult and outside the general realms of male/female?
Intersex people, by contrast, are competing exactly as they were born and raised.
If that is the case, then the assertions are that her physical form would widely be regarded as female, by doctors, without the detailed analysis of chromosomal testing.As far as I'm aware, the original court case involved full medical checks of Caster that established Caster was male, both chromosonally and as regards organs that were present.
However, until then she would presumably have had some measure of physical examinations, at various points in her life including some kind of administrative procedure to permit her entry into events, at which point she'd have been similarly declared female?
He's actually raising a very specific point, to differentiate between a male deliberately pretending to be female, and an individual that has been told she is a female all her life.He's just trying some semantic argument here, by "medically recognised as women" he's presumably trying to include Caster as a "woman" who has been "medically recognised" as such in so far as she was (to use gender ideology lingo) "assigned female at birth" by a doctor.
It's one thing to just say you're female and have someone shoot that down... but to be told this and raised as this, and to then base your career and your life on this, only for someone else to suddenly come along and forcibly alter your sex for you is an entirely different can of moral worms.
I'm still waiting to hear some official medical confirmation of any specific condition, as well as any proven advantage her condition provides.It's got no bearing on the reality that she's a biological male with the advantages that come with being a biological male, it's just an attempt at obfuscation because there isn't really any justification to support a pro-Caster argument.
So far all I've seen is one newspaper declaring her genetically male, and some conjecture about the reasoning behind a sports regulatory body's decision, which is frequently opposed by similar bodies and numerous medical specialists.
