About 1 in 20,000 women have complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (AIS) - where they are genetically male (XY), but their body has problems recognizing testosterone (and other androgens) and thus they have physically developed as women (this has been rumored of actress Jamie Lee Curtis, but never formally verified).
None of these tests, to date, have revealed a man posing as a woman. However, in 1985, Spanish hurdler Maria José Martínez Patino discovered that she was born with a Y chromosome (XY), instead of another X (XX) - that she is genetically male and has AIS.
Though genetically male, these women have female physiology - and their genetic makeup shouldn’t actually provide any greater physical advantage.
So, how should the line be drawn this year?
Should it really matter?

The bierbauch (which in German literally means “beer belly”) is essentially a camelbak for your stomach, making beer consumption easier than ever. Also from the makers of the bierbauch comes the getraenkebüstenhalter– a wine bra, so women can partake in the drinking action. Germans are equal opportunity drinkers!
