(1,962 posts)One of the threads about the Ohio pedo pervert genital inspection bill has inspired the usual "trans athletes have unfair advantages" and "shouldn't be allowed".
It never fails, does it? Instead of calling out the QOP, it's us getting called out.
I wonder if any of the "SAVE OUR SPROTS!" crowd here would still think there's an unfair advantage if they knew what 3 1/2 weeks of Spironolactone - and so far only Spironolactone - was doing to my physical strength. I've already had a few moments of struggling to pick up or moving things that weren't an issue in the past.
Not that I'm complaining, mind you. I knew it would come from treatment and HRT. I'm just tired of the myth that female trans athletes are all built like Barry Bonds (circa 2002) and see this as the "cruise control" to winning.
