When it comes to US High School & even college level athletics, there's good reason to believe the discussion on a policy level has shifted:
From: "Lowering testosterone levels the playing field"
To: "Trans women are women, therefore T level requirements should be illegal"

To: "Trans women are women, therefore T level requirements should be illegal"
The Biden EO & the proposed Equality Act both prohibit gender identity discrimination.
This gives room to argue that it is discriminatory to require a person, because of their gender ID, to undergo medical treatment (lowering T) in order to play.
That conflicts with NCAA policy

Groups that are commonly asked to opine on transgender sports policy, like GLAAD, GLSEN, & NCLR (as well as The Center for American Progress), have all voiced support for the "All 50" policy model in high schools, which has no low testosterone requirement

The ACLU's rhetoric ("Trans girls are girls", "There are not set hormone ranges") suggest they see T requirements as discriminatory
Would the ACLU support a policy which says, that in sports, "trans girls are girls if they lower T, otherwise they are boys"?
It's hard to imagine

The discussion in the public & how it is presented by many (but not all) in the media, usually revolves around whether lowering testosterone levels the playing field.
This lags very far behind the policies that are being proposed and implemented. https://twitter.com/boysvswomen/status/1359854080424869894?s=20

The ACLU, Biden, & others need to be asked direct questions like Rep. Skees does here 
ex:
*Ideally* at what level should there be hormone requirements? High School? NCAA? IOC? Never?
(reqs don't work, but they are a part of the public discussion) https://twitter.com/SaveWomensSport/status/1359537041378316288?s=20

The ACLU needs to be asked directly if, *ideally* there should be Men's & Women's categories, since they claim that sex is not binary, and sex is not identifiable.
If they support having Men's & Women's categories, they need to be pressed for their "why" and "how".

Summing up, policies are being pushed that could potentially bring about radical changes, going well beyond the public discourse.
These policies/arguments are coming from the highest levels - White House, US House/Senate (& those who are heard in our highest courts).
Act now.
