I honestly didn't think of it on the sense of "those wicked cis men ruining it for us." I say because of in the descriptive causal sense only.
I'm generally for decriminalization. There's one person in my replies saying T is harmless & athletic use should be allowed w/o penalty and I disagree there, but I am against criminal penalties (as opposed to penalties for cheating within organized sports, which I support).

Sorry twitter is slowly training my brain to read Ill intent into everything. But I agree there are definitely risks, and there should be organized sports that don't preclude those who choose not to partake in them. But overall I think decriminalization would be better.

Agreed. Ban it from sports use, and kick athletes out of comp-etitions for its use, but like, it should not be a criminal act to purchase it. Decriminalisation is very different from deregulation by sporting bodies.
