    Man where the fuck are 8 year olds getting hrt wish I didn’t have to see this insane talking point everywhere

    Also saw this study from nih saying trans women don’t perform any better than cis women in sports when they’re actually allowed to compete. Lmao there goes that one too I guess

      It's gonna turn out being trans gives you a slight advantage in some obscure sport like Curling or some shit and therefore HRT is gonna get banned as a performance enhancing drug. Similar to what happened to cannabis because of archery.

        Sorry, cannabis helps archery?

        If so I'm going to have to dream up a really cool, wandering, stoned marksman character.

          It's speculated that it would therefore its a PED. I don't think it's been thoroughly tested.

      My sibling hit puberty young and got puberty blockers around 8. They were also very lucky to have access to a doctor who’s a trans man and knows who in the state is safe to send trans kids to. But also… puberty gives people hormone-based advantages over their peers during certain time frames anyway. You never saw anyone banning 8th grade girls from basketball because they were taller than the boys. It’s specifically about them being trans.

      Bonus is that most men go on on male hrt to compete and that is kinda accepted
