    I’m not talking about that, my whataboutistic friend, I’m talking about this specific episode that’s being used as a media case to rage-bait people.

      Then we should set testosterone limits for male competitors too if it’s always unfair. Or is it only okay when we police women’s bodies?

        It’s always going to be unfair when the game is going to be “how strong am I?” because it will always boil down to genetics. If your body is more suited than mine to shoot punches you are going to win, regardless of sex, gender, ethnicity or age: basically the Olympics are a “Biggest Pumpkin Competition” but with a better advertising campaign.

        So all of this rhetoric of “should we test athletes for testosterone” is fucking dumb on both sides.
        Give them fucking chainsaws and let them massacre each other for my entertainment.

      Sports where physical strenght and constitution are more important than technique will always be dominated by people with a better genetic pool.

      You’re literally talking about whole sports in your first sentence, nothing specific about that…

        Yeah I’m sorry, sometimes in sake of brevity you skip some premises thinking an average minded person would be able to put it together on their own
