Even though this isn't a UK rule or UK laws, but one of an international organization, it's certainly an optics opportunity for them to make their own fund to help those who need to pay for it.

Especially since it can be argued that the alarmism around trans athletes was started by terfs.

But if they won't, that's an optics opportunity for progressives, like this Pink News headline here.

Headlines like "No plans to help female athletes pay for testing" - says [insert terf org here like sex matters or for women scotland or whatever] would work pretty well too.

Especially if then some relatively rich trans person or ally then went ahead and made their own independent charity fund to help struggling athletes pay for these tests, assuming there is actually demand there (I have no idea how much they make at that level), all while having some blerbs on their website out of the way on their website about advocacy for removing barriers to participation, education about intersex disorders that cause false positives or even true positives to unknowingly intersex cis women and how they are working on streamlining this yada yada and how few trans athletes there are total or how some studies show that over time performance equalises and how they already test for T levels etc etc.

Even then, I wouldn't be surprised that most cis fem athletes don't see it that way, and I'm not sure where I stand on it either.

Personally I could give a fuck about sports regardless, but while millions of trans folks are stuck suffering from dysphoria without proper care, anything that damages the terf establishment is a good thing.
