:EA DATA. SF:Any "benefits" disappear once someone is on HRT.
The IOC said there may be "rare exceptions" for DSD athletes who do not benefit from the performance-enhancing effects of testosterone.
Fuck them and their disengenous bullshit.
Rabbit@jrdepriest @alice Every day I hear about how I am a degenerate or something but also how I also have an unfair advantage over olympic atheletes and an unfair advantage over chess grand masters, etc. etc.
@ra6bit trans folx are Schrödinger's villain—simultaneously weak little snowflakes *and* more powerful than trained Olympians.
It's fucking ridiculous.
Fi 🏳️⚧️'cuz we're not real to them - we're a spooky story they make up in their heads, and they aren't even talking about the real-world people involved; this is all about the imaginary person they made up to be mad at.
rainynight65@ra6bit @jrdepriest @alice and the thing about 'unfair advantages' is, it's only considered a problem when a woman is perceived to have it.
Michael Phelps absolutely had unfair advantages that had nothing to do with fitness and training, and everything to do with genetics, body proportions and other innate factors. Nobody ever sought to disqualify him for the unfair competitive advantage he had. Nobody ever really called it an 'unfair advantage'. He was 'lucky' to be born that way. It was all hard work and discipline.
And his fellow swimmer Katie Ledecky was similarly successful *without* similarly unfair advantages. Lo and behold, there must be something wrong with her. She's not a 'real woman'. Maybe just make sure.
It's just so massively hypocritical.
Michael Phelps was a mutant. Perfectly natural. God-given.
I am an abomination. Completely unnatural. From the Devil.
Andrew Deacon@rainynight65 @ra6bit @jrdepriest @alice (semisarcasm on) Phelps is a WHITE MAN and therefore can do no wrong, those who are not WHITE MEN are subhuman. This is white patriarchal thinking. (semisarcasm off)
