    Artificially altering your hormones should exclude you from competing with people who aren’t.

      Why though? Also you are aware that every woman on hormonal birth control gets excluded using that criteria. Or undergoing treatment for PCOS (which amusingly makes them more fair competition).

      you do know things about womens’ health right, you’re not just talking from a position of ignorance are you? That would be a pretty silly thing to do.

        You know what, I agree. Screw it. Let anybody dope however they choose and get rid of gender categories. Doesn’t bother me honestly.

            I’m just saying that there is no clear answer and there’s always going to exceptions. You either allow drugs or you don’t - for health reasons or cheating it doesn’t matter if the end result changes your performance. Again, there’s exceptions, and that’s why we’ll always have this discussion.
