First one looks like a woman, second one looks like a man.

Imagine if you saw this in a dark alley, scary.

I'm pretty sure they're both women. not trans people

Why do they even have limits on testosterone? They are females. I'm guessing it has something to do with keeping trans people out of the women's category

I don't think so. more about these women having more "natural physical advantages" than other women because of higher testosterone levels. I don't think they should limit testosterone levels. it's natural and these are women. they shouldn't be punished for it. let them compete

I’d read a Dua faster than Eminem.

They are natural though , shouldn't be discriminated against for an innate advantage. They didn't cut their balls off and become a 'woman'.

True, but it should also be fair.

these testosterone limits were designed around white women. no surprise since the olympics is european in origin but ive seen multiple stories over years of these madow women with naturally high test levels being unable to compete while New zealand is sending a whole dude to compete for them

Many people in this country specifically said that they don’t want African woman to compete (at least the racists here). Why are Africans always put into this nonsense? If they don’t allow Namibia, they’ll afterwards not allow other African woman as a follow up

Weird how they‘ll allow transgenders but not actual woman. Keep with this up and many women will despise transgender women

 

[Giftxo]

so a whole niin can cosplay as women and be apart of the Olympics but a biological women can't

Ikr? This is absurd. New Zealand allowed a whole ass Man to compete alongside other woman.

 

[Giftxo]

they’ll allow this man to join but not any biological women?

these transexuals get hopped on so many blockers that they drop their T levels low enough to compete on the womans side. this dude is going to dominate and the alphabet crowd is going to say "he matched the T levels" when he clearly shouldnt be competing with women

They’re not normal women. The highest Testosterone a normal woman can have is 2.43nmol/L. In the article, it says that you can’t compete if your testosterone is above 5nmol/L, so these “women” had over double the testosterone compared to women who already have very high testosterone levels.

What’s next? Kenyans and Ethiopians can’t compete in a marathon because they have an advantage because of their lungs?
