69 pages in and still to thick to follow the complexities
at the youth level it doesn’t matter. We don’t test for steroids. If your position is it should be a biological test you have a problem with the ftm…the only logical position is to let them play in the f division because you aren’t testing anyone else’s dope usage so why pick on them. But ultimately it really doesn’t matter because we don’t test for cheats so why focus on the trans when actual cheaters get away Scott free
on the college level, when we do test, it’s different. You can only let them play if you can balance the playing field. While it is true that men generally are more athletic than women, it is also true ftm on treatment have their performance drop. The question is can you establish protocols so there isn’t a great undue advantage. For every lia there are 10 athletes you don’t hear about including several instances mentioned here
for the professional and national team levels even stricter protocols are called for and some sports like running and jumping events are probably impossible to balance due to the small margins in those victories, even for kids that transition in their teens but after the onset of puberty.
What the Hell are you talking about? At the youth level it doesn't matter? Boys are faster and stronger... despite not always being bigger. It's not even close. At the college level, our women's National team got smoked by a team of 15-year old boys. As did a team from England. Not even close. Or in the case of male lifter Jaycee Cooper, who considers himself a female, 5 first place finishes in 7 competitions. What a hero.
And while you're telling me how dumb I am, it's "too" thick to follow the complexities.
