Topic	Is it really fair for MtF trans athletes to compete in women's sports?
Kyuubi4269 10/22/19 6:19:10 PM #90:	dancer62 posted... An admittedly cursory search of the literature doesn't indicate a particular advantage to MTF athletes over natal female athletes. Jokes about Russian weightlifters aside, the Olympics and highest levels of sports are not overrun by MTF athletes. It's as though no country would dare enter a man in women's events to score free points. It makes the country look bad. dancer62 posted... 1. Female hormones = female muscles. Male hormones = male muscles. Overdose of male hormones = bigger muscles plus nasty side effects. No hormones = loss of muscle mass and strength. Check eunuchs. For somebody who claims to be medically knowledgeable enough to claim vaccines bad, you sure don't understand biology. A man suppressing testosterone gets weaker muscle but the gains they got as a male for decades gave them permanent strength improvement and enhanced their ability to train. Note that athletes who dope during training then back off before competition are still much stronger. A woman injecting testosterone will get stronger muscle, but it is not comparable to men with a lifetime of testosterone who grew more in their formative years. dancer62 posted... 2. Unless I'm badly mistaken, for sanctioned sports, trans athletes have to pass the same physical examination as their natal sisters, including steroids, metabolites, etc. Hormones must be documented as maintained at female levels for at least a year. It depends on the sport, but testosterone can just be classed as medicine. Note in the tour de france a team got a lot of shit for abusing hayfever medicine for an edge, but it was allowed in the first place as standard medicine. dancer62 posted... 3. Big tough untrained male, small disciple-level trained female. Hmm. Sue Shiomi? Lol that's like calling Jackie Chan a Kyokushin karate master. --- Doctor Foxx posted...
