Correction: Under the headline about World Athletics, the last sentence should read:
"The general consensus as to how they can make such a ridiculous, and seemingly racist, assertion is that when they say “black women” they are referring to *men* from poorer African countries, where people with DSDs might be more likely to be misgendered at birth."
The original post said "women from poorer African countries, but this was incorrect -- the incoherent assertion made by India and others is believed to be that biological males from poorer African countries who have DSDs might be identified as female at birth, and thus grow up competing in (and dominating) female sports, and thus stand to lose from having to have a cheek swab test that identifies them as being male.
