There's a respectful version of this conversation. You could say: "This woman may have a genetic trait that confers a competitive advantage, and we should figure out how to handle that fairly." That's a real discussion. Have it.

But that's not what's happening. They're calling her a man. A girl born female who didn't even know she carried the SRY gene for most of her life. A man, apparently.

This is mission creep. It started with "trans women shouldn't compete in women's sports." Even that conversation can be had without calling trans women "men."

But now it's crept into "any woman who fails a DNA test is actually a man." They're not protecting women's sports. They're policing womanhood itself.

Who counts. Who gets to call herself a woman. If a DNA test says something they don't like, you're out. Born female, raised female, lived your whole life as a woman. Doesn't matter. You're out.

Transphobia cooks your brain. You spend years screaming "everyone fits neatly into two sexes!" and then reality hands you Khelif or Caster Semenya and you can't adjust. You can't say "this is more complicated than I thought." You just call her a man, because the framework demands it. Fundamentalism.
