The same ruling would apply to other hyperandrogenous athletes, no? At least as I understand it.

Replying to @AlanLevinovitz @D_503zam
It's far worse than that. The IAAF was meant to demonstrate that this provides her a competitive advantage, instead they produced junk science. Moreover, the ruling is explicit to events she runs, so other hyperandrogenous women in other events are fine

Isn't she though a male with a DSD?

Nope. She is an intersex woman, assigned female at birth

Why not an intersex male?

This is part of the complexity of intersex, of course, but usually people assigned female at birth have visible female genitalia. Saying "an intersex male/female" mostly misses the scientific point of intersex

This may be so, but assigning anyone lacking external male genitalia as female is also problematic in my opinion.

I am fairly certain it is far more complicated than that

Yet this is exactly what has happened to Caster Semenya, apart from not having external male genitalia, all other indicators are male as far as I am aware.
