Sad times if you're a cis woman who happens to have a wider jawline, larger nose or who generally does not look sufficiently "feminine". You can be subjected to cruel, invasive transvestigation instigated by people with sinister motives or bitter rivals.

As always, transphobia is used to pander to bigoted pricks. This is not a victory for women in any shape or form. This just opens more avenues for abuse for the fucking gender police.

…What happens when the athlete is a minor? Who inspects the child?
