There's also cis-male people who will "pass" that SRY test if they take it for some reason...

This is a dumb ass way to try and define the woman's category... which is about the expected result of bigots trying to work backwards from the result they want headlines about.

This is news to me - which males are you talking about here?

It's really not, though. They found a marker they can test for, and have clearly defined exceptions.

This poor bloke who found out he was infertile during a premarital medical exam, for instance: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7760426/

Have you heard of the politician's fallacy, "something needs to be done, this is something, so this needs to be done"...

Your argument here is that... needing a test, and having a test, doesn't mean it's the right test.

You're also assuming that we even need a test... evidence (no transfemale olympians ever coming not dead last) suggests we don't.

This isn't just about trans women, but also about DSD cases like Imane Khelif and Caster Semenya.
