Mayo Clinic professor suspended after saying testosterone improves athletic performance
The College Fix ^ | 06/19/2023 | Blake Mauro

A Mayo Clinic College of Medicine professor was recently suspended — and remains under the threat of termination — after he told a news outlet his stance on trans-athletes in women’s sports and plasma treatments for COVID-19.

Administrators suspended Professor Michael Joyner without pay for a week, citing his “use of idiomatic language” and comments he made in a June 2022 New York Times article as justification for the disciplinary actions, according to a March 5 disciplinary letter that recently came to light.

The memo also told him to refrain from speaking to the media unless given permission.

The college expressed that Dr. Joyner’s opinions “proved problematic in the media and the LGBTQI+ community at Mayo Clinic,” according to a letter Joyner received from the college, which was recently published by the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression.

In June 2022, Joyner told the Times that, when it comes to telling the difference between biological males and females, “you see the divergence immediately as the testosterone surges into the boys,” he said. “There are dramatic differences in performances.”

I thought Armstrong was adding red blood cells?

“...testosterone improves athletic performance...”

That is a proven scientific fact.

Which is why the governing bodies of most sports federations ban performance enhancing drugs such as anabolic steroids (an artificial form of testosterone) and androstenedione (a natural hormone that the body converts into testosterone).

I believe he used something to increase red blood cells, but not steroids.

I’d take the fighting. I have eight daughters. No son.

If nothing else, just to have help with the shower drains caused by nine women with lovely, long, curly Jewish hair.

Well that’s the same effect. It raises your hematocrit. The red blood cells are what delivers oxygen to the organs. Athletes will cheat by training in high altitudes and gaining more red blood cells and then extract it and freeze it for a performance later. At the Tour de France Lance used EPO the hormone that tells the bone marrow to produce more red blood cells and they couldn’t figure it out because they were testing for testosterone. By injecting synthetic EPO, he was bypassing the testosterone precursor. They would have never figured it out until he confessed. Or at least that’s what I heard.

Because maleness is bad, unless women do it.

There have been many studies on testestorone and that abundant research has shown the physiological effects of testosterone use: increased muscle size and strength, aerobic endurance, decreased fat mass, faster recovery from high exertion exercise, and increased muscular power.” This one according to a review published in The Sport Journal.

And women can use it. A woman’s body will begin to redistribute weight. Fat will diminish somewhat around the hips and thighs. Arms and legs will develop more muscle definition, with more prominent veins and a slightly rougher appearance, as the fat just beneath the skin becomes a bit thinner. However there are safety concerns of testosterone therapy in women to include developing the potential for developing hirsutism, acne, behavioral and personality changes, breast cancer, endometrial cancer, hepatotoxicity, and potentially detrimental effects on cardiovascular health and bone health. But it’s an option for women competitors.

Exactly, follow the science {unless it contradicts the lbqtlsmft narrative} and then just shut up or get fired.

Joyner told the factual truth and they smacked him in the head and threatened his job, just the usual liberal approach to their position on anything.

“Conformity is everything. Failure to conform is a crime punishable by shunning and stripping of professional credentials.”

And public humiliation and threats of violence.

My parents had five daughters. Needless to say, Dad seldom had access to the one restroom we had in the house. Five girls in a three bedroom, one restroom house! It was a loving and disorganized chaos!

Decades ago CS Lewis wondered if the movement of modern science might start rejecting the very idea of objective truth altogether in favor of socially engineering what humans ought to be and what they ought to think true.

Speak the truth, and you get fired. This should not be tolerated in this country or any other!

It’s only tolerated in Banana Republics.

This started with evolution. Anyone who questions it loses their credentials and must conform to get a PHD.

In the world of Thoroughbred horse racing, testosterone and anabolic steroids are banned as performance enhancing drugs.

Lance Armstrong. He was on my mind as I read your post. He and others. So now are these jerks going to rehab Armstrong and give him back his titles? Not bloody likely. Truth is a punishable offense, while lies . . . well, meh.
