Something that comes up in the world of competitive sports is “gender testing”. This test can be required of certain female athletes to make sure they are really women. In the past there have been cases of men posing as women, men who thought they were men but were chromosomally or physiologically female, and women who though they were women, but chromosomally or physiologically male.

This tutorial will explain this process:
