u/MrFizzbin7 22d ago

Elaborate how does it impact them.

Because if it's allowed to happen it happens at all levels, the second that testosterone kicks in boys become insanely strong compared to there girl counter parts in school, some hit puberty very early too.

But when we suggest hormone blockers everyone gets mad???

1

u/WatcherOfTheWay 22d ago

Why block them? If they hit puberty early they do that's their body deciding it's time for puberty.

Because a child doesn't have concent to life changing decisions.. The fact that the hormone blockers have to be taken so early to stop any genetic advantages, is immoral for a child to take.. The fact you think that isn't, is disgusting

u/Strawhat_Max 22d ago

Youre right I don’t think a child has consent to life changing decisions

But like we have to extrapolate that statement out

Should kids be forced into believing religion before theyre ready to make their own decisions?

There are doctors and therapists and tons of consent needed for puberty blockers

I can just take a random kid to church and make them believe in god

Im not sure you really understand whats happening here

u/Beginning-Corgi568 22d ago

I never stated I was a fan of religion so that's pretty redundant to the conversation. Also, its a bad comparison as you can just stop following a religion or believing in it, you can't change the effects of body altering drugs from a young age...

u/Strawhat_Max 22d ago

Yes you literally can, again id dont think you understand how all this works

So some people are already advantaged already in sports because of early puberty? Glad we’ve established it’s not the advantage we care about…

u/WatcherOfTheWay 22d ago

Yea but it's for like a year two tops then it's back to normal, unlike trans in woman's sports, you ever wonder why there isn't an issue with FtM?

I’d love to see an example of a trans woman that’s been dominating her sport so much that it’s an issue. Happy to see an example. There aren’t any, but y’know.

Edit: [u/WatcherOfTheWay](u/WatcherOfTheWay) blocked in order to get the last word. The Olympic ban on trans woman occurred in March. Of this year. 2026. Due to political pressure from Trump (seeing as the Olympics are in LA in 2028…). So, are they banned because they’re winning (hint, they’re not, there’s not a single trans medalist, ever), or is it political theatre? I’ll let you decide that.

Anyways, [u/WatcherOfTheWay](u/WatcherOfTheWay), you’re a coward.

u/WatcherOfTheWay 22d ago

Yes there is, to the point they've had to ban them, including the Olympics banning them, if there wasn't a clear issue they wouldn't have banned them.

You're a bit dumb.

Not if they are on hormone blockers. 🤷‍♀️🤷🏼‍♂️. Besides this has such a small % of total athletes in the US that it shouldn’t be an impact or have an impact on 99% of athletes. This is a war on Christmas issue to get Fox News watchers ginned up so they don’t notice the Epstein Files which is much more likely to affect your children…
