    why is genetic variation seen as “unfair” in women but “fair” in men?

    There are unquantifiable variations but then there is the variation between men and women. There is a night and day of difference between the two.

    in which case why isn’t there a T limit for male athletes as well?

    Combat sports generally have strictly defined weight categories to flatten out huge swings in testosterone (ie muscle mass + bone density). Throw a chimpanzee into the welterweight category for example and it will fuck shit up all day long, so to me it makes sense to have testosterone categories in women’s sports but not in men’s because for women the ceiling is much much higher.

    There is a reason roided body builders don’t compete in natural leagues while we all stand around like programmed momos pretending they are the exact same thing.
