OT: Texas High School Girls Wrestling Champion - A Transgenger that Juices

[Willie Lump]

According to the state rules, his use of testosterone is within the boundaries due to the medical condition - "The University Interscholastic League, which governs school sports in Texas, said that the state's education code allows the use of a banned drug such as steroids if it "is prescribed by a medical practitioner for a valid medical purpose."

Sorry, I don't agree as this has created a very lopsided playing field.

Texas is afraid that if he is allowed to compete against boys, then he will be allowed to use a boys bathroom.

Glad he won a state championship. Feel bad he didn't get his wish of competing against his own gender.

Curious how he would have done against the males and still on steroids.

I agree he should have been allowed to wrestle boys. Even though he is on steroids, if the dose is correct for the medical condition, it will only put him at the level that the other boys are at naturally.

Testosterone treatment isn't steroids

 

[Lovethissport]

Anabolic steroids are synthetic testosterone.

Thank god my ovaries are producing it too!
I think it should say that it is "produced mainly in the testes, OR the ovaries...", right?
See, now we're all confused...
