A little research on the author shows she is:
> an "American sociomedical scientist whose research focuses on sex, gender and sexuality, as well as the epidemiology of HIV/AIDS"
and her own profile says: https://womensstudies.barnard.edu/profiles/rebecca-jordan-young https://womensstudies.barnard.edu/profiles/rebecca-jordan-yo...
> "I am an interdisciplinary feminist scientist and science studies scholar whose work explores the reciprocal relations between science and the social hierarchies of gender, sexuality, class, and race."
This author is less of a scientist and more of a sociologist that is using data points to leverage an agenda about gender, sexuality and sports. Putting 'feminist' before 'scientist' implies a host of biases.
This is politically expedient propaganda that can be used to leverage the idea that trans-women (biological men) should continue to compete in women's sports because "it's not all about testosterone."
And then there's this lovely disclaimer by SA, as if to say 'we know...':
>"The views expressed are those of the author(s) and are not necessarily those of Scientific American."
Are there ANY medical doctors, chemists or biologists who want to weigh in on this, not just "feminist scientists" who have made a career in "science studies" via identity politics?
