There are significant biological and hormonal differences between men and women, which is why testosterone levels are monitored and regulated among female athletes.

And cis women who have naturally high testosterone levels are then discriminated against.

Overall, I think articles like this are just intentional trolling with rage bait about stuff that doesn't directly concern or impacts a thousandth of a percent of the population.

Discrimination like this are huge signs of the problems of socitey. Sure, trans people not being able to compete isnt the end of the world... but the Discrimination doesnt stop there. We can just look at history for examples.
