In the women's 800m in Rio, the top 3 all had XY chromosomes and lived with high testosterone levels through puberty.
- Caster Semenya[1] (1st place). Here is an interview with her.[2]
- Francine Niyonsaba[3] (2nd place). Here is an interview with her.[4]
- Margaret Wambui[5] (3rd place). Here's an interview with her.[6]
I see a lot of people saying things like, "Where are all the world class transgender athletes that are dominating men on a routine basis?" Well they've failed to notice the intersex XY people who are dominating women's events.

- lol_u_cuck 6y agoFailed to notice? They have been specifically pointing this out for years. MtF transgendered athletes have been dominating women's sports. FtM transgendered have not been dominating sports. Have you been under a rock?
