It's gonna get buried, but petesergeant had a good comment sharing this article.

They are also banning females from female sports as well with this ruling.

Caster Semenya is XY with a DSD (5-ARD), and absolutely should not compete with females. The same goes for Imane Khelif who was the same DSD.

People with this condition have internal testes, a male level of testosterone, and a male level of muscle development. That a doctor assigned them female at birth and put a F on the birth certificate does not change this.

Intersex category would be perfect fit but this is very rare condition so there wouldn't be enough competition.
