What I am getting at is the only reason to call for post op only is if you think someone would go through years of hormones therapy to win a sport and then try to reverse it.
The surgery itself doesn't make a difference in their ability and, given how rarely it is done, you basically wouldn't have anyone compete.
Hell, I doubt there are a huge number of trans athletes qualifying for the Olympics to begin with.
I disagree with the reversing it notion. I think if someone felt they could keep the upper hand they would stay "pre-op" for as long as they could.
And if you have ever met an Olympian or seen them, this wouldn't shock me if they did try shit like this to compete. They are a different breed of humans.
