    I’m interested in how this could be framed as Manuel having an unfair advantage, but since I know any explanation no matter how stupid, impossible, or absurd would work on millions of credulous morons I actually don’t.

        yeah, I’ve seen the argument. people cry out because testosterone is (deservedly) considered essential for ftm trans people, while in most sports, it would be considered doping for cis people.

        while I can see why people feel like it’s unfair treatment, they usually have no idea about the trans experience. excluding trans people from the opportunity to have a sports carreer would in any case be a lot more unfair than some selectively allowed hormones for athletes.

      It would be kinda funny if the argument went to trans men having an unfair advantage when previously the argument was: “Show me even one trans man who has won against cis men.” Goal posts are ever moving.
