Cis women have testosterone too, and gender testing might exclude them from women's sports just like trans women if they have too much.

Also, most trans women are specifically blocking testosterone, and often have significantly lower levels than cis women.

Yeah but if it's that important to the muscles/effort thing it probably should be the determining factor to segregate athletes in performance-based categories instead of their biological or physical gender

Or, how about we stop trying to protect mens' fragile feelings from being beaten by girls and quit pretending that we can segregate our way to competetive fairness?
