The hypothetical athlete above may be a female with hyperandrogenism and would be subjected to humiliating sex verification tests and possibly forced to undergo aggressive treatments in order to qualify to compete.

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Hyperandrogenism is when testosterone levels are elevated beyond the typical levels. Some athletes also have testosterone insensitivity which means they are males but they're bodies are unable to process testosterone messages so they develop phenotypically as females. Treatments can range from taking drugs to suppress testosterone levels to undergoing surgery to alter their bodies so that they are unable to produce testosterone.
