Going to agree with AndroidVageta here, why is this even up for debate. Its like a 265lb UFC fighter asking why they can't fight for the 155lb belt.

ITS NOT A FAIR FIGHT.

That's what happens when you wrap yourself in pc bullshit rather than going with competent standards and common sense.

Internal or external organs generally don't really matter that much in terms of improved athletic performance. Sure, it matters a big deal if you're having a relationship but in terms of sports, the only thing they really care about in the end is hormone levels, since those affect performance greatly. Guys who lose their external reproductive organs in an accident or women who lose their uterus and/or ovaries from cancer don't suddenly change sex.

In this case, after medical treatment, she's back to the normal range. You guys do realize that even transgender women (born a complete male) are allowed to compete in the Olympics as a female athlete, if they have the proper surgery and their hormones are tested to be within range. It's really not that different from this case so her competing again after some medical attention isn't a surprise at all.

The vast majority of testosterone a male produces is made by the testicals. If a man loses them in an accident there's a huge host of side effects (Including muscles atrophing) that go along with that if they don't get hormone replacement. Shutting down testosterone production either through castration or medicines is basicly half of what a TS does to change themselves.
