Entering transition with above average muscle mass and skeletal structure and maintaining HP training pre and through transition will defiantly affect the time it takes for Hannah to minimise her advantage.

Hannah is hypgonatic, not feeling full effects of complete androgen deprivation and plus 2 dozen contraindications because still has her androgen receptors (gonads).

. Hannah I feel would be years away from minimising her advantage in women’s competition.

If she completes her transition surgically she will eventually end up with complete androgen deprivation at which time her general health would deteriorate and she would find it difficult to compete in any sport that requires endurance and strength.

XY Females are lowering and eventually stopping permanently their production of testosterone eventually leaving an XY woman as myself in comple androgen deprivation.

For education purposes google the affects zero testosterone production has on an XY Male I can assure you it isn’t performce enhancing it is a very unhealthy state for any person to be in.

The current IOC guidelines are totally not sufficient to minimise the advantage in women’s sport for all XY Transitioning Females. Since 2015 when the IOC amended their policy to include transitioning XY females that had not undergone gender surgery and the halved the 2 year period of testosterone reduction to 12 months the balance of fairness was tipped in the favour of the XY Transitioning Female. This update in policy was not bassedmon science it was a half a day decision made without research to lesson liability in Kristen Worleys HR Case in the Divisional Court in Toronto.

I believe fully transitioned XY Females that have undergone gender surgery can compete equally with XX Females XY women (fully transitioned) are the only athletes competing unhealthy in a complete androgen deprivation state and well beyond a (post menopause state). Incredibly unhealthy and spore eventually becomes impossible as the body deteriorates as it cannot respond to day-to-day functions without androgens as the bodies primary communications and regulator hormone.

My suggestions for future policy development for XY transitioning and Transitioned XY Females are.

1/At the community level of sport self identification as the only perquisite to participation.

2/At Regional,’State, Narional and International, Sporting events only XY transitioned Females (fully transitioned) are able to compete with a minimum of 3 years to have elapsed post surgery. Also a case by case consideration must always be used to ensure the advantage in women’s competition has minimised enough to compete fairly in women completion. I also suggest that pre participation tests must be carried out such as base line V02 Oxygen Levels and muscle mass and bone density.

3/ In high impact sports like the AFL at any level. I suggest the same criteria apply as per the requirements for international competition.

I am only one person who has lived and breathed these changes and I am not saying I am the expert on this subject,’if there is actually an expert in all of this.
