What's up guys, Derek?

Moreplace for a day.

Today we are going to be talking about the Olympics again.

This is a hot topic recently and it is sort of, sort of had a lot of overlap with the recent

discussion of trans athletes competing in sports with biological females and, you know, the inherent

advantages they have from a structural aspect, psychological

aspect, muscle accrual over time aspect, fucking bone density aspect, all of these things that have

been developed through their youth, through their puberty, through adulthood, exposure to these

androgens with differing levels of estrogen, growth hormone

IGF1, et cetera, and then transitioning to become a female later in life and how it affects

their performance, how fair is it, blah, blah, blah.

But now we have a more interesting and probably more highly debated discussion around

the banning of biological females who have testosterone levels that are inherently too high through natural production.

So on one side of the spectrum, we have biological men who are transitioning into females and manually crushing their testosterone levels. However, they retain all of these structural

advantages, not all of them, but the majority of them, you know, fucking like hand size, limb

length, bone density. A lot of this stuff has retained even if they crush their endergen

levels and take, you know, exogenous estrogen, whatever it is that they deem appropriate

for their

transitioning process. And they have a huge amount of leeway to with the amount of time. They have to

actually have their testosterone levels under either 10 nanomals per liter or five nanomals per liter,

depending on the event. It seems like there is differing rule sets depending on the events and some of them

don't even have restrictions. It's kind of weird. So like obviously 10 animals per liter for weightlifting, we discussed
