MODERATORS
I'm always stuck on Lance Armstrong, a guy who came out of chemotherapy with a seeming supernatural endurance and won seven consecutive Tour De France titles. Dude got the endorsement of the US Postal Service. He was a national celebrity for at least a decade. Damn near dodged the entire doping scandal to boot, because "No its fine, I'm being treated for testicular cancer" was a get-out-of-piss-testing-free card.
Nevermind the entire early '00s HGH-powered Barry Bonds / Mark McGuire / Roger Clemmens / Sammy Sosa baseball era. Or fucking Wrestling! How many pro-Wrestlers were zooted to the gills on pharmaceuticals?
Nobody seemed to care, then. But now, we're supposed to pretend estrogen is a performance enhancing drug?
Na, doping is something else. As the other comment said, they don't say estrogen is a PED, they say testosterone suppression and HRT don't matter.
Until a teenager wants beta-blockers to prevent the onset of puberty, at which point its child abuse, sure.
In sports. The context of my comment is sports. Nothing else. Only sports.
Pro wrestling isn't a real competition, it's scripted, and winners are either pre-determined, or "chosen by the audience."
No, they're pretending that being AMAB means that puberty blockers and testosterone suppression don't matter. They're saying that trans women are men.
The athletics is real and the physicality is real. These aren't people out on the mat having their stunts CGI'd.
Which is as insane as suggesting HGH or blood-doping doesn't matter, because it's "natural".
Agreed on all points.
