UK Athletics bans transgender women from competing in female category

UKA will also apply World Athletics' regulations for athletes with differences in sex development (DSD).

DSD is a group of rare conditions whereby a person's hormones, genes and/or reproductive organs may be a mix of male and female characteristics. Some of those affected prefer the term "intersex".

DSD athletes will be required to reduce their blood testosterone level to below 2.5nmol/l, down from five, and must remain under this threshold for two years in order to compete internationally in the female category in any track and field event.

However, UKA said it "remained concerned about the ethics of coercing individuals to undergo pharmacological intervention purely for sporting purposes".

A little change in terminology for once more. DSD is known as disorders of sex development. The BBC is using differences in sex development. Political correctness for once more without recognising the most important part i.e that intersex in this case is a very rare disorder where males and females can have a range of mixed characteristics, ambiguous genitalia, being infertile, etc.

You missed an important point there-
These fake vaginas need to be kept moist, so they are attached to the bowels to provide them with natural human biological moisture.
