So, guys, Derek, more plateswinternates.com. Today we are going to be talking about male advantage due to testosterone.

First crucial question in the debate, followed by a remarkably bad or dishonest assessment of the evidence to totally rewrite the physiology of male versus female performance.

Here's the clip, then a handful of tweets to correct the falsehood.

So this is Ross Tucker at Science of Sport responding to this

clip on CNN of the controversy over transgender girls in sports. And this, who is it, Veronica

Ivy presumably is about to, you know, give a, the rundown in pharmacology and explain why, you know,

testosterone is not performance dancing. And it's, you know, just is not performance dancing. And it's, uh, you know,

just harked back to the old fucking, uh, data we had from the 60s or 70s that shows that, you know,

steroids don't actually fucking help with performance, which we all know is bullshit. So let's hear

what she has to say. Is that those born male have a natural physiological advantage that also includes differing levels of testosterone.

You know the argument. Your response to that is what? Yeah, it's a nonsense argument. So

depends on how much time you want, let me get into the weeds because I can literally spend

hours on this. how about 30 seconds

yeah so the first thing is um testosterone your natural internally produced and dodges testosterone has

zero impact on your athletic performance and we know that but we didn't know that until 2013

because everyone just assumed that, well, testosterone

is why men are bigger, stronger, faster.

But when we finally studied it, there's no relationship between natural testosterone

and performance.

Dude, what the fuck.

Why is testosterone banned?

Well, every body produces a different amount. and when you add to it through exogenous means
