I don't like it either but I think it's fair to at least reject athletes taking steroids or hormones.
If they meet that requirement we can place them in one category or the other based on primary sex characteristics. If they wish to be called by a certain pronoun or name...I think those wishes should be respected.
I'm not really sure what the rules are. Are athletes rejected if they take steroids or hormones not to improve their results, but for medical reasons? It would make sense to put transgender athletes in the same category.
why would it be unfair to them, they are making a decision that they know has some consequences, why do we need to be unfair to many people to accommodate the options of someone who is making a personal decision.
It's kind of misleading to just call it a decision. It's a treatment for a medical condition, so the decision here is to either treat it, or leave it untreated. Encouraging athletes to keep their conditions untreated if they want to participate isn't very healthy.
