while there are sometimes actual negative health concerns that stem from pcos/high testosterone levels in cafab people (like ovarian cysts--which, btw, are not actually a requirement for a pcos diagnosis) im actually convinced that a large number of people who are subject to this racist, transphobic, intersexist genetic testing in sports actually just exist within the "natural" variation of hormone levels present in cafab people, and the standards they're subject to are greatly skewed by white supremacist and misogynistic standards of femininity
