What was the procedure in handling intersex cases in high-level female sports prior to Clown World?
It does seem like there should be some nuance between actual intersex individuals "Assigned Female at Birth" with XY karyotypes and the modern day "transwomen" pretending to be women with fake hormones & surgeries.

I'd be shocked if there were a single legit intersex athlete in the Olympics so it probably never came up. Despite the trans lobby and media gaslighting, true intersex individuals are incredibly rare.
But these are not independent variables. Whatever intersex individuals exist are disproportionately likely to be identified as promising young athletes, due to male sex hormones being a performance enhancing drug.
The division where the best Olympic athletes compete is entirely comprised of men, but women ( and gender freaks who don't take PED ) can try ( and fail ) to qualify.
I know this was a thing indeed, because a judo competitor from my country became famous in the 90s because they found out she was intersex (not sure about the chromosomes though), and she had to pass a bunch of tests to be allowed to compete in the Olympics.
So, this has been going on at least for 25-30 years.

And the likelihood that they are not completely fucked up and also have the health and drive to train to be an olympian is basically zero.
Eh, I wouldn't have needed to train all that hard to be an Olympian if I were boxing women.
Of course, if it were common, I'd need to train pretty hard to beat all the other dudes competing as women, so I guess it would eventually even out.
Yeah very true

The outcome should always be : ''go compete in the open division, not the division reserved for females'' ( which is basically the special olympics ).
I'm guessing the "Open division" is simply the Men’s side?

It was always handled abysmally, lets take the most famous case of Caster Semenya 800m runner. Actually nuanced discussion on reddit for once.
