Topic	POLL: Should transgenders be allowed to participate in women's sports?

MtF should be allowed to be in women's sports only if their hormone levels have been suppressed for a sufficiently long period of time. Some studies have suggested 6 months is enough, but I'd feel better saying a year to provide extra chance for any additional testosterone-fueled muscle mass to atrophy. Really, just treat them like someone on steroids, since it's basically the same thing. What about cis women that naturally produce more testosterone, should they be forced to atrophy their muscles? No. That's just what their body does naturally. They aren't forcing anything. If we condemn people for their natural hormone levels, we also need to control for people who are taller, or quicker, or smarter. It's a silly slippery slope to go down. (And my apologies to Caster Semenya, who shouldn't be forced to block her own body's chemistry.) --- Video Game Music Contest 12 winner: Ys 8 - Sunshine Coastline <cite>azuarc posted [p:923609087] in POLL: Shou...
