Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I fought they got rid of the limit? (Okay after some research, they got rid of the limit for women with XX chromosomes, even women with XX chromosomes and disorders in sexual development (DSD) have no testosterone limit. The limit only remains for athletes with XY chromosome related DSD.)
Caster Symenia is an intersex woman, and these rules do unfairly target people like her.
In fact all of the women mentioned have some form of XY chromosome DSD. This is effectively a ban on intersex or XY chromosome DSD athletes in the womens division, requiring them to regulate their test levels.
Caster Semenya was assigned female at birth (according to her wiki), making her cis.
Okay I'll edit the comment, terms around gender for intersex people (such as weather to identify as cisgender even if your gender identity matches your gender assigned at birth) are controversial, so I'll change the comment and remove anything saying that these female athletes are cisgender or not cisgender. At the end of the day they are women and their right to compete is being unfairly targeted, and that's what matters.
sounds like being intersex doesn't have anything directly to do with being cis or trans
