And having competitors with insane testosterone counts won’t end “female” sports?
Who has insane testosterone counts? Most trans women have <1nmol/L. The boundary at the olympic level is 10nmol/L
You say that as if it's true for all trans women. It isn't. I agree with you however that the IOC's solution introduced in 2003 works fine. The only reason it's coming up now is because of politics.
I explicitly said "most" and I stand by that. It is absolutely true for most trans women that their T levels are far below average cis women.
Ok so we limmit the testosterone do we limmit the muscle growth from when the testosterone wasnt limmitted? Do we limmit the bone structure? Do we limmit the brain chemistry? How far do we go trying to define what is a woman and by doing that are we not excluding people?
We if we have people who are men in all but name competing in womens sports that wont kill female athletes? There are undenyable differences when it comes to sport and i doubt trans athletes are getting surgery to change their bone structure are they? Either eliminate all female athletes and let trans athletes compete as women or dont u cant have both its called doublethink.
Trans women have been competing in female sports for years and years, before 2016 and 2018 rule changes with regards to T levels (that no trans woman will have trouble meeting since their actual T level requirement is super high anyway) How come it wasn't the end then?
I was about to respond more in depth but you really gave the whole game away calling trans women "men".
No they're not sweetie, least of all biologically, but it won't stop me from being violent when it comes to that dw :3
Its my right and this dudes right to call whoever the fuck we want whatever the fuck we want its called free speach. U know what isnt a right tho? Threatening someone with violence thats not free speach (by legal definition). You are a supreme hipocryt who thinks the reasonable responce to someone calling a women a man (btw dude didnt do this he was talking about actuall men) is violence.
Ohh and to ensure i hurt ur feewing your mother is fat old white man and your father is a schoolgirl. Get over it grow the fuck up and use your words like an adult.
