Apparently the trans men who are literally hopped up on T are no issue but hoo boy them trans girlies and all that E? Best watch out.
Misogyny at the core of everything they do
trans men are de facto banned from competing in all sports because T is a performance enhancing drug. its true that the bigots dont think about them, but its not like theyre competing in sports anyway.
Aren’t you allowed performance enhancing drugs as long as you’re taking them for non performance enhancing purposes? Like asthma inhalers that temporarily increase your cardiovascular capacity are fine, as long as they’re prescribed to you by a doctor for your diagnosed asthma, afaik.
maybe some specific ones, but androgens definitely not. theyre like the number one performance enhancer and was one of the first if not the first to be banned in competitive sports. testosterone levels have a huge impact on athletic performance, and opening the door on an acceptable range of testosterone levels would shine a light on the inherent problems of the fundamental philosophy of sports.
people assume some degree of fairness in sport, but the truth is that sports are in many ways a genetic competition, with some people being naturally gifted. someone might have naturally higher testosterone, have an easier time building and maintaining muscle mass, have a skeletal structure uniquely suited to their sport, or have some other biological advantage that improves their performance in subtle or overt ways. sports are inherently unfair, we just pretend they are because to acknowledge the unfairness is to call into question why we do sports at all.
so i doubt trans men will get an exception any time soon. theres not many of them, and cis people generally are totally unwilling to acknowledge the nuance of sports competition in the first place.
also, it’s not like these people actually care about sports
Yeah when was the last time any of these chuds actually watched women’s swimming or whatever. I’ve got $10 saying it was never. Also these orgs have their own preexisting rules for how trans folk can compete, like being on hormone therapy for at least a year or something.
Bet you if we could though, people would be too scared to bully them and they could rule the world.
I’m ready to obey the trans femme overlords please.
Me, cane in one hand holding me up, art camera in other hand, and apparently for some reason cause I’m trans, people think I can brawl with six buff cis guys and win.
Mang. I have a stick and I’m still gonna lose. Let me be the tired lady who is recording the beauty with her camera.
maybe they’ve been watching too many kung fu movies
