I know it involves a test of testosterone levels. I don't know the limits of those tests, how much testosterone means a person isn't a woman anymore.

And as I read some where here, if testosterone levels is unfair advantage why aren't there limits in the men's league too? It is so just they police women bodies (cis and trans alike). Here is the original comment but I did not record the username, so sadly I can't credit them

If testosterone is a PED and it doesn’t matter if the athlete is cis or not, then there should be a hard limit for both male and female athletes to ensure fairness. If too much testosterone is only a problem for women then clearly it’s a sexist attempt to police women’s bodies. Every human body produces some amount of testosterone, either too much is an unfair advantage or it isn’t.
