Exogenous testosterone doesn't help in events like track and field. Maybe sprinting but there are better tools for the job.
But your comment does touch up on something else which is the fact that men and women very much have biological differences that are complimentary to our survival as a species and trying to ignore or say they don't exist smacks the face of reality hard.
But the linked article indeed touches upon a unique edge case and it's something that these games will need to address, the 3rd option. Unfortunately by genetics these "intersex" people are not men OR women, they are aberrations and unique which I would say should preclude them from competing entirely because they aren't technically men or women.
- delichon 2y agoIf their sex linked genetics gives them an advantage over women but not men, why should they be restricted from competing against men? That seems unnecessary and cruel.
- freitzkriesler2 2y agoBecause they're neither men nor women. I bet there are physically disabled people who want to compete in no handicap competitions not deemed by the ableist term "special" yet they are forced into that and worse have to accept the obvious that it isn't possible. Sadly, we live in a cruel and unfair world and coming to acceptance of that is called growing up.
