Nevermind that females with high testosterone who have never trained a day in their life for the OLYMPIC FUCKING GAMES are unlikely to be any sort of competetive threat.

True facts. I have a female cousin diagnosed with abnormally high testosterone levels -- she hates athletic activity and cuts gym just as much as I used to, and like me, she's useless at any sport. It's those athletes' hard work and dedication that gives them an advantage! Not bs like this :|

EXACTLY. ARGH. :| Having high testosterone doesn't make you magically better than everyone else! I mean, pit your average every-day businessman or something against any female Olympic athlete, and I can tell you who's going to win, "abnormal" testosterone or not!

There are so many things wrong with this I do not even know where to start.

Note to IOC: dystopian sci-fi stories are not instruction manuals.

That was my feeling when I read this. "This is horrible. I need to respond to this somehow. Now, where the hell do I even begin?" :(

...oh wow. I need to read that. And then I need to write an essay combining sci-fi references with the early (European-)American concept of the "true woman" and how we still haven't gotten rid of that stupid concept. It isn't gone, it just changed shape.

*grins at your icon* Kit, do you know about Oh John Ringo No? It's very appropriate for this entry, IMO.

[imagines]

OH MY LORD. O_O Very appropriate, yes. Will read when head is put back together from exploding. :p
