(1,178 posts)and if you think there is no cheating, you are very naive. They already take all kinds of illegal substances, including hormones, to gain a competitive advantage. They do his knowing hat it may cause medical problems later on. I was with one athlete the evening before he died in his sleep caused, in large part, by his use of anabolic steroids. So, if you think that there will not be fake transgender males competing as females, you are deluded. I guarantee that here will be males trying to get sports scholarships and then, after college, "deciding" that they are really not trans. Four years of paid tuition at Stanford is a lot of money! And, female to male trans athletes will never be able to participate in competitive athletics if they have to compete against biological males. There should be different categories for trans athletes so we can be fair to them, as well as to biological women.
