We thank Williams and colleagues [1] for recent comments re-iterating our concerns about targeted sex verification based on allegation and suspicion, which motivated our initial submission [2]. It was intended as a first proposal for more ethical and equitable regulation of eligibility for women's sport, and we wel-come the confirmation that several of the Williams et al. authors concur that the International Olympic Committee's (IOC's)Framework does not protect fairness for female athletes. In Lundberg et al. [3], we (including authors from Williams et al.) explained that developmental androgenization, driven by testes-derived testosterone, underpins male athletic advantage, necessitating sex-based categories in sport. We further argued that the IOC's “no presumption of advantage” [4] is logically flawed and that exclusion of a presumed male performance ad-vantage should be the default position
