And frankly, sorry IAAF, but how is any kind of hormone therapy fundamentally different to the advantages given to athletes who have access to more resources for training? More money for coaches, equipment, TIME to train? All of these things are used to sculpt the body too, but I never see any bellyaching about the distribution of resources to athletes due to their wealth (or wealth of their representative institutes).

If the IAAF considers testosterone such an overwhelmingly powerful hormone that it gives people too much of an advantage to compete in the women's sport divisions, rather than force people (both cis and trans) to undergo hormone therapy to reduce blood testosterone levels to their eligible limit, why not just split sport divisions into bands based on blood testosterone averages? That's probably too naive of an approach, but you can probably see where I am coming from.

I am very smart and a serious thinker, please pay attention to me.
