I'm not basing it on the testosterone, but on "her" XY chromosome, as was pointed out in the article I linked to earlier. Unless you are, in fact, saying any man should be able to compete in women's races, where is the line to be drawn?

Because one trans woman won a single college tittle? Do you know how many trans women have won Olympic medals of any kind since they were allowed to compete in 2004?
