But they have successfully brought that non-sense to the west and all they had to do was dress it up under the name of "tolerance"

Genius.

Are they still doing hormone and steroid tests? I remember the East German women being eliminated because they failed hormone tests

It’s not enough to tolerate.
Even acceptance is insufficient.
One must enthusiastically embrace it to be in the good graces of the Party.

Shouldn’t even have an Olympics if they’re going to discriminate against women athletes in this manner.
