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.

Thank you for the documentation. What medical condition allows it for trans men?

Is that a medical condition. My understanding was that it no longer was a mental condition

What's the difference? "Mental" refers to the brain, which is part of one's physical body. I don't understand the distinction you're making so I can't answer the question. All conditions treated by medication prescribed by doctors are medical conditions.

Then what in the brain works in an unusual way that leads to a medical prescription. As of now I am unaware that there was a diagnosis other than self declaration. Do you get what I mean?

There are all many medical conditions that aren't well understood. Having a "mental condition" is not a disqualification from competition. Doping refers to a substance that confers an advantage, and there's no fear of that here, so whats the rationale to treat this differently?

Well... ok. But I did get the idea that having dysphoria removed from WHO lists would normalise the condition. I am not saying that T therapy shouldn't happen, but that if being dysph is normal then T therapy, for sports, looks like doping, as no health issue is related.
