Thanks, guys, for another fine piece of journalism (“New Olympic transgender policy creates inequity issue,” ODE, May 20).
The anxieties people have about things they don’t really know anything about are always fascinating. The androgen blockers that transwomen take before surgery lower their testosterone levels below what non-trans women produce naturally.
It’s not like you should be expected to know that; it’s a pretty detailed piece of information about an issue that is widely misunderstood. But you should be expected to do a modicum of research before publishing arrogant, long-winded diatribes about issues with which you are completely unfamiliar.
