What a nutcase, the person on the far right. For that person, any man , just has to reduce their testosterones for a year and voila, go and compete with women. They've just further reinforced that they don't give a crap about actual women. Only their feels matter. And Pierce was right...that is absolutely ludicrous. So floyd weather in a year becomes Moyd Weather and he should compete with women. I mean, I get that transwomen are desperate, but come on!

Elsewhere on this site are references to two recent studies which both found that one year on estrogen does nothing to reduce male body advantage.

The person on the far right there is Joanna Harper. Harper is the man who got the International Olympic Committee to change its rules in 2015 to allow men to compete in female sports after one year of lowered T.

Harper achieved this by providing "scientific evidence" supposedly proving that CSH and androgen blockers quickly turn males into dainty, frilly, weak shadows of their former selves who are incapable of opening pickle jars. Harper obtained this "scientific evidence" by comparing the anecdotal info about how the running times of eight TIMs he knew - including himself - had slowed after transition. Though the before and after times he compared were actually years or decades apart - in one case, 29 years apart. A total charlatan given total respect and credence based on trans male privilege.

I can't wait for the Olympics. It will be a global peaking. It has the potential to be the number one story that everyone is talking about. Sport is about fair competition. Unfairness makes people feel bad.
