She has done nothing to change herself. She is NOT trans, but does have XY chromosomes. Let’s at least acknowledge that this situation is more nuanced than those wanting to create a sensation.

Correct. They were both born with vaginas. They probably both have testicles as well. That's what gives them the Y chromosome.
Believe it or not, this is not an uncommon event. DSD. Differences in Sexual Development. It occurs about as frequently as kids with red hair.
That being said, that Y chromosome still gives them a competitive advantage over XX. Better muscle development. Better bone density. They should not be allowed to compete with XX, at least not in 'battle' type events.
Giving credit to my friend Dan. The reason we're seeing this more is because the traveling circus has become extinct. Remember The Incredible Bearded Woman........
