"gender eligibility test." WTF
I do think you should have some baseline hormone tests because of doping but "gender eligibility" is kind of distopian lol

Very on brand for an organization controlled by a government that considers being openly LGBTQ+ inherently harmful to the point that it jails people for it, though 🤬
