But that's like what they want to do?

I mean it's an alteration into what body you have. I thought it's only acceptable for both since that's what the person wants to do with their body so why is it illegal in sport?

Steroids are frowned upon because they are used to gain an unfair edge over others. Thought I personally don't give a shit if someone uses any drugs, steroids included if they are healthy.

Are you talking about transgender people (both MtF and FtM) competing against women with no handicap, where they can win easily with their higher testosterone levels? Or just making the really dumb comparison of using testosterone illegally to cheat in a sport versus using it for medical purposes? Because the former IS looked down upon in general, even though the whole system hasn't really been worked out yet, while the latter is nonsense.

Okay, you clarified: you're making a completely asinine argument by intentionally playing dumb. So this whole topic is pointless.

No, you can't just "do whatever you want" with your body when it involves a controlled prescription-only substance like testosterone or even legend Rx (schedule VI) substances like finasteride. You need a legitimate medical diagnosis which is a hell of a different beast from just deciding one day that you're gonna tell people you're transgender. Stop wasting everyone's time.

The Americans wanted to make a big deal out of communists cheating, though Americans were cheating too. Honestly I don't care if an athlete does steroids, they exploit your genetics if you are a man. Women, they do more than just that like change them from women to boys going through puberty? I don't know how to explain it, the records they set while on roids would be crushed by the top 25 high school players.

Thought steroids are only frowned upon if you are using it to get an edge in sports over others? There are plenty of medical issues treated with steroids and no one bats an eye about those.
