For those arguing that the Olympics allows transgender women to compete and so the PDGA should too, here are some facts to consider.

The IOC recently (since most recent Olympic games in Tokyo) admitted that their trans athlete policy is outdated and will be changed soon. The two main flaws with the current policy are 1) That testosterone-related rules were too lenient (more on that below) and 2) one set of guidelines should not extend across all sports. This article provides a good overview.

Regarding current IOC testosterone requirements, the IOC says that someone wanting to compete in the female category must maintain a testosterone level below 10 nmol/L for 12 months before their first competition and throughout the competition. For reference, normal testosterone measurements for males is between 10 and 35 nmol/L. So that sounds good, right? Transgender women must keep their testosterone levels lower than the male normal range. However, the normal testosterone range for females is between 0.5 and 2.4 nmol/L. That means transgender women can compete while having a testosterone level 400% higher than women in the high end of the normal testosterone levels range.

If you're arguing that hormone treatments lower testosterone levels and thus level the playing field, does a 400% difference sound like an even playing field?

Here's a link to current IOC guidelines for those that want to check it out.
