- Today there is so little outrage in the sports world about how transgender policies are hurting women athletes and making a national joke of women’s sporting events.
If they knew what the East German government did to their Olympic women athletes in the 1970s and 1980s, for instance, they might understand why it’s not fair for transgender men to compete against women in sports like swimming, tennis and surfing.
- In the 1970s and 1980s the country’s women’s swim team dominated the world, breaking most of the women’s records and taking most of the medals at the Olympics.
- Everyone knew why its masculine women swimmers were so good — and why many were sprouting facial hair. They were being doped.
- From an early age, and mostly without their parents’ consent or knowledge, East German girls were being forced by their trainers to take growth hormones and testosterone, the male sex hormone.
