yeah, I’ve seen the argument. people cry out because testosterone is (deservedly) considered essential for ftm trans people, while in most sports, it would be considered doping for cis people.
while I can see why people feel like it’s unfair treatment, they usually have no idea about the trans experience. excluding trans people from the opportunity to have a sports carreer would in any case be a lot more unfair than some selectively allowed hormones for athletes.
“He HaS tOo mUcH tEsToStErOnE! He’S bAsIcaLly dOpIng” or something like that would be my guess.
Same basic dumb logic for why it’s ok for a cis woman to be tall and not a trans one.

I don’t see how it would be unfair as long as his testosterone levels are within average the male range.
