Original Note:
This test doesn't check if the athlete has XY chromosomes, but if they have "gone through male puberty". This would allow XY athletes to compete if they transitioned before puberty, however it also risks blocking XX athletes with naturally high testosterone. https://news.sky.com/story/world-athletics-to-introduce-mandatory-sex-testing-for-female-competitions-13335486
