There's a clever little trick behind the outrage over "chestfeeding" as a suggested alternative (not replacement) to breastfeeding, and the reason it works is, once again, say it with me: TRANSMASCULINE INVISIBILITY.

Feel like it is this same issue at play with sports inclusion, whenever they talk about keeping trans women out of women's sport they ignore or forget that a natural consequence of this is forcing trans men into it

But trans men wouldn't be able to take testosterone if competing, as a pire anti-doping universal regulation, so it would, sportingly, be fair.

Which would be triggering dysphoria and that testosterone is literally a life saving medication for trans men. Like how an a athlete with anxiety disorder might take anxiety medication or adhd athletes taking adhd medications.

If any drug results in an unfair sport advantage it shouldn't be used. It is a sad situation but life or mental health trump a sport event.

So, trans men can't compete against women because it would be unfair, and they can't compete against men for... no reason?

If taking testosterone, not produced by the body, then it would be doping. So I guess that is one reason I don't see how one can work arround.

Cis men take tests to show if they're doping above natural levels of testosterone. Trans men can take, and pass, the same tests with the same levels. So, where's the doping?

The doping is that the hormone isn't produced by the body. Doping is taking a product. Would the advantage of having a male test level result in unfair dominace. No. But it would be a clear anti-doping violation. I am talking about competing, not sport as a social event.
