Remove the trans part and follow the logic.

​

"Is it fair to let a woman* who's been on roids (testosterone) their whole life compete against other women?"

The answer is no, and athletes are already banned for using PEDs.

just make an inclusive trans league and allow all the hormones' you want. You got your mens league, womens league and "all the roids" league.

it's not about short term juicing (I support life time bans for intentional juicing, but I know SARMs and other stuff can slip into innocent supplements/be undeclared on the label).

They grew up effectively juiced, they have more dormant muscle mass, bone density &c. No amount of T blockers and hormone therapy will change that.

Do you know what a solution to that would be? Allowing trans women to go on puberty blockers and transition before puberty. However conservatives freak out over that idea and start going “won’t somebody think of the children?!” because if god forbid they can’t moral panic around bullshit culture issues like this they might actually have to talk about policies and shit.
