You're telling us, in effect, that you consider taking performance -decreasing- substances as a way to cheat. How does that make any kind of sense?
It's insane to call the advantages of being male in sports shaky. Like, bonkers insane. Taking performance decreasing drugs does not decrease to the level of a woman, who went through puberty without loads of testosterone in her body. I mean obviously. But if you think being male isnt a proven advantage in sports. Even though the record in every single sport ever is held by men, that holds objective records, then there is really no point in having a conversation about it.
