1) We're not even mentioned in the article.2) The article had one glaring mistake. It was embarrassing she tried to make this racial. She wrote, " It’s notable that the women who’ve made the news for being scrutinized under the testosterone rule have been people of color."No ti's not notable. A very high percentage of the people with condition are result of having children to people related to you. Incest doesn't normally happen in the developed world3)I also think this argument is laughable

Women with high testosterone levels have been pressured to undergo life-changing surgery and medical interventions in exchange for the right to compete.
Taking the second part of that, I'd responde by saying Semenya has always had the right to compete without the treatment - she just doesn't have the right to compete in the category for we call women's athletics. If we are going to have a create a category of sports called women's sports - because of the fact if we had an open category like we do for everything else in life like jobs, political seats, etc. women wouldn't be able to compete - then a definition has to be made as to what type of human qualifies to compete in the slower category. Saying someone who is XY chromosonally and has internal testicles can't compete isn't unreasonable.
As for the ridiculous argument that anyone tries to control someone's body, it means they are dealing with a wome, I'd say this. Men's bodies in sports are controlled all the time. IF men want to compete in men's athletics, they are told they can't smoke cannabis, do cocaine or steroids. They are also told they must tell the authorities where they'll be for 1 hour of every single day. They also must agree to let complete strangers look at their penis when they are drug tested.
