And this is why the IOC ban is so important. Without it, the well-financed TG lobby will simply launch global lawfare and destroy governing bodies one by one.  

Even then that could happen. There are few European countries where goverments would back challenges, 

 

FIFA is the one to watch.  The football world has plenty of white western female players and coaches who sincerely defend DSD players in particular in a way you don’t see in other sport. If there are people who refuse to take a gender test on a point of principle I suspect they will be footballers.

I mean, football players refuse to take doping tests and that's never a big deal, refusing tests is in their blood (along with other stuff).

I’m pretty sure refusing a doping test gets a ban even in football

It's not easy to please 200 countries, let alone a complex matrix of federations and governments from 200 countries.
