Youngren would not qualify for the US men's trials with those times. https://www.flotrack.org/articles/5067989-usatf-lowers-the-half-marathon-qualifying-standard-for-2020-trials …
Qualifying "A" Standard
2:15:00 Men, 2:37:00 Women
Qualifying "B" Standard
2:19:00 Men, 2:45:00 Women
@FondOfBeetles, how much slower would Youngren be b/c of that v. low testosterone?

Should add: I'm not much of a runner, but I can see Youngren is clearly very good, just not male elite level. Eliud Kipchoge recently ran a sub-2 hour marathon, not an official world record but he'll probably get it soon. Brigid Kosgei is women's world record holder with 2:14:04.

Is Sports Illustrated utterly clueless? The video that plays at the top of the story is about the unfair advantage Nike Vaporfly shoes give runners. Irony much? Jesus.

So hormone treatment started at age 19, well after puberty? So no advantage? Still, if only 1 woman loses her space on the trials, it doesn't matter does it?

Another man trying to piss off women who train for their success. This needs sorted out once and for all. In sport only natal women may compete against each other. Surely it's not a difficult concept.

The immediate solution to this is in the hands of those biological women who are drawn to run in the same races as Youngren by withdrawing at the last second on the track, until they show en-mass that they will only race biological women, nothing will change.

Unlikely. Women are more sensible to being ostracized.

Yes it does. But I thought there is little to no advantage to men in endurance sports like marathons?
