Making friends in the Youtube comments; a two part story.
Guy: "Everyone knows this, testosterone is a hell of a performance enhancing substance, we ban it as such accordingly. And the advantage doesn’t just disappear, you can get years ahead of schedule in performance, and not in a way that just disappears once you’re no longer taking it."

Me: Everyone does not know it. In fact there's a ton of hard data saying the opposite; that trans competitors actually tend to have LOWER levels of testosterone than cis-women competitors and do not have an athletic advantage over them. Which stands to reason because the biology of M2F transition is about suppressing testosterone levels down to nothing and then adding estrogen instead." (ct)
