Pro-Transgender Doctors Dismiss Male to Female Athletes as ‘an Imagined Problem’ for Women’s Sports
Breitbart ^ | 19 Mar 2021385 | DR. SUSAN BERRY

Minnesota-based doctors working in the lucrative youth transgender medical field are condemning a state bill seeking to ban biological males from competing in women’s sports and using female locker rooms.

In an op-ed at the Star Tribune this week, the medical professionals – pediatricians and those treating gender dysphoric youth in “gender clinics” – called the legislation a “hateful distraction, an imagined problem created only to politicize the lives of transgender youths.”

The authors defended males in girls’ and women’s sports with a statement denying the existence of evidence that boys and men “have any type of biological advantage over” girls and women. The authors do not cite specific studies to support their claims.

In 2019, a study at BMJ Journal of Medical Ethics found male athletes claiming to be female hold an “intolerable” advantage over biological female athletes.

Three professors — two in bioethics and one in physiology — noted in the BMJ that the International Olympic Committee (IOC) initially allowed transgender women to compete against biological females if their testosterone is below 10 nmol/L. The researchers found, however, even that level is “significantly higher” than that of biological females.

“... allowed transgender women to compete against biological females if their testosterone is below 10 nmol/L.”

Normal testosterone levels in men range from 8.4 to 28.8 nmol/L. So, the 10 nmol/L allowed is above the level for many men.

Meanwhile, the normal levels for women range from 1.0 to 1.6 nmol/L. In other words, the fake women are allowed T levels at least 6.25 higher than the upper limit for actual women. I doubt that even the E. German woman’s Olympic weightlifters had that much anabolic steroid in their system.

they’re complete idiots.

Uh, yeah. That fact has been proven and demonstrated for over fifty years. Stupidity bordering on insanity. Liberals with children will consider oppressing their children as a necessary evil for the sake of political correctness and tolerance.

No surprise. Abortion docs are professionally too inept and incompetent to practice medicine. So, they get rich murdering people unable to defend themselves.

And America allows them to do that. And we wonder why Christ through God isn't defending and blessing us any longer. Add to that our promotion and celebration of the homosexual perversion and degradation and we can see why America is headed to another Mexican state.

So how can there be a problem? Some women are stronger and faster than other women. Next we will hear that there is no such thing as “transgender.” Everyone is what he says she is at any particular moment with no qualifiers. Women’s lib has reached it’s extreme absurdity.

The goal is the original Communist goal, to render all human beings outside of the ruling class as interchangeable work units.

Real women don’t play sports and their parents should have encouraged them in another direction.

The weirdest thing I ever saw was on a trip to Asia. They had huge cruise ships on the local river. One of them clearly service Muslims only. It had that weird devils writing all over it, And creepy shrieking music playing.

Off to one side were all the women covered head to toe in burkahs, about 20 of them.

The men were all in the middle doing some weird line dancing with swords.

I am an atheist and don’t believe that sports are very womanly. Unpopular opinion in the US, but I am only one person. ;)

Two years ago our cruise ship was parked next to the Scientologist cruise ship (Freewinds). That was pretty weird too.
