I hope someone will find those helpful
Responding to scientists being still out on testosterone effects
Responding to conservatives excluding intersex conditions from the definition of biological sex
Responding to yet one more instance of ‘men stronger than women’
If anyone can add those to their arsenal, so be it. You probably need those more regularly than I do.
That’s a Lemmy problem, unfortunately. The links are all .ml links because that’s OP’s home instance, and (as far as I’m know) currently, there is no way to create instance-agnostic post / comment links. Compare https://lemmy.ml/post/19241099/13073901, https://programming.dev/comment/11773309, and https://pawb.social/comment/10354944. They all lead to the same comment (the one that says “Are they?” one level above OP’s), but the bit after the instance name is always different, and Lemmy doesn’t have a way to convert a “foreign” post or comment ID to a local one. There’s an open issue about this on github, though, so maybe this feature will be introduced in the future. If you want to save the comments on your home instance, the only way to do that is to go through OP’s comment history.
salute To your efforts in the posting trenches.
Given how much effort there has been over the … centuries? … to both make rules to create fairness and find ways around those rules to gain an advantage, if Testosterone was the one defining factor for all sports in all situations then there would just be a competitive breakdown for each sport by a player’s T-score.
There isn’t.
So, much in the same way that combat sports don’t have a “bone density” test and sorts boxers, wrestlers, MMA fighters, etc into Bone Density A/B/C/etc classes, I’m very inclined to view all arguments that sports should be broken down by Gender or Assigned Sex At Birth markers to keep the sports fair/competitive, as not very compelling the longer these ‘debates’ rage on.
