Apparently, you’re afraid of capitalization.

What are folks’ thoughts on castor semenya, the biological female who has naturally elevated testosterone levels and masculine features competing in womens track?
I think having naturally elevated t levels is a physical gift same as any other natural physical gift in sport and it’s BS that she is being forced to decrease her natural t levels.

I agree. That ranks right along with muscle fiber type allocation, neurological speed and efficiency, lung size, blood production and the many other discrete factors in athletic performance.

Like a thick skull and resistance to concussions. Some guys can box for an entire career and never be concussed or KO’d. Some kids head a soccer ball one time and they’re down for the count.
She’s good to go in my book. Built for sports. Go kick ass.

Doesn’t she have testacles that never descended?
Yeah, or mine, which is virtually impervious to sound advice and prudent action!

Idk the specifics. I don’t think the results were ever leaked, just leaked that she was forced to take a sex identification test by the track & field governing body.
As a (poor amateur) Strongman competitor, I believe anyone who dominates a sport needs to disqualified or have the competition stacked against them.
Also, isn’t she intersex?
She has xy chromosomes, no ovaries and internal testes. A lot of the reporting on her leaves out the chromosomes issue and just focuses on her test levels.

Seemed relevant. Kroc made a point not to say every trans mtf person should compete against only men, but that’s what he’s doing.
Also, Kroc’s traps are still insane.
“Since I’m certain many of you you are wondering and will be asking I’ll just address it now. I will be competing in the men’s division (notice I did not say “as a male”)”

Hold it! Is that a recent pic? If it is darnn! Looking at it again. It looks slightly Photoshoped
I thought this was a joke… what the hell is this?
you know when republicans said this is a slippery slope and we all thought they were assholes???
well I dunno now.
1st off if there’s one trans person it is unwise to mock on a lifting forum. It’s Kroc. I forget his lifts but he has some very serious lifting and BBing bona fides. Go watch videos of him one arm rowing like 315 IIRC.
Just thought it was interesting Kroc will compete against dudes despite beliefs to the contrary.
I’m not mocking his lifts am I? I’m just bewildered by the spectacle.
I think it’s absolutely insane to be able to have a physique like that after bouts of running estrogen for prolonged periods of time.
No matter what the situation, Kroc is always something else. Be cool to see how it pans out.
but does this Kroc person still run gear?
I can’t even begin to imagine what is happening to this person, mentally. that’s a lot of different hormones surging through your body
Nah. Born again natty.
