This woman who was born with a condition that gives her an advantage over "normal" women (so she is kind of a "freak" in that sense) but her case is resulting in lots of rhetoric that tests our ideas of the boundaries/definitions of gender and sex.

Looking through this article actually surprised me. It is her natural self, it's not like she took testosterone meds to get to that state. Even if it is an advantage, there are plenty of aspects that people can have an advantage in but just because she has hyperandrogenism doesn't mean she should be banned from competing. Athletes take performance enhancing drugs, whereas this is a natural event.
