i get what you mean as well, and i will always in pard unapologetically risk offending people with incorrect nomenclature, but am always willing to explain what i mean and wont try to offend, just risk it.
i think in this context the genitalia tends to match the T or E levels about 99.99% of the time as far as i can read. they may be intersex clinically, but athletically its either the T or E level that tends to matter.
id like to get a T level test on that absolute unit leading the Us womens rugby team. she is truly a specimen and im just curious.
I'm not experiencing this as one of being offensive or not. It's more about the technical and scientific nomenclature.
The intersex aspect of sport participation is a tricky thing, and is distinct in some meaningful ways than the conversations about transgender athletes. The athletes discussed in this thread aren't "biological males" so much as they are intersex, and they never transitioned. They're simply women with intersex conditions.
