Can you give a response to the two discussion posts listed below? (How you feel about the Each post)

Here is the Question the two posts responded to: Do some research and present an argument that women with more naturally occurring testosterone should or should not be banned from competing against other women.

Post 1:

Biological women with a naturally higher testosterone in their body often face criticism on their hormones. On one side, you have people argue they cannot help what their body naturally produces while others say it is an unfair advantage in competitive sports. One famous controversy over this exact topic is Caster Semenya. She was a female runner that faced major controversy and was forced to undergo hormone treatment after her 2009 Olympic run.The IAAF announced that it was unfair that she had 3x the testosterone levels of other women and had to lower to their level to compete. They said even though she was a hermaphrodite, she had to pick one sex to compete in. She decided to undergo the hormone therapy, but despised it. Personally, I believe that this is not morally the right thing to do. If a person is born over seven feet tall, we do not make them stay out of the NBA. If a person was born a biological sex, I think they should be able to compete in their respective gender. A female should not be forced to take hormone suppression therapy to limit their bodies. However, if an athlete was born a male, then I do not believe they should be allowed to compete in female athletic events. Instead, they should have their own league to have a competitive playing field.

In this week's discussion, I chose Topic B as to whether or not women athletes who have naturally higher testosterone should or should not be banned from competing against other women.

What is testosterone?According to the Society of Endocrinology, testosterone is produced by the gonads in males, and by the ovaries in women.Additionally, a small amount of testosterone is also produced by the adrenal glands in both males and females.Testosterone not only controls a person's sex drive but also their bone and muscle development.Similar to naturally high cholesterol, people, especially professional athletes, can produce high testosterone.(Society)

The human body is complicated, and according to Sara Chodosh's article in Popular Science,there has not been much scientific study on the effects of testosterone on female athletes.Chodosh states that some studies have shown that women who are born with a mutation of their androgen receptors are among the most athletic.She also discusses how other researchers believe naturally occurring high testosterone is directly related to the Y chromosome, as well as growth hormones.(Chodosh)

In June of 2019, Scientific America published an article on the banning or restricting of women athletes from certain sports events for having naturally high testosterone.The debates were between the International Olympic Committee (IOC), the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), and the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).An example of this debate was from May of 2019 when the CAS held that women with naturally high testosterone could not compete in long or medium-distance running events.The IAAF stated that the CAS rule was unscientific, unethical, and discriminatory.Even though the CAS agreed their rule was discriminatory, they said it was "justified" because women who had natural testosterone in the "typical Male" range had more of an advantage over other women with lower testosterone.(Jordan-Young)

There are many studies with opposing views on this issue.To ban or restrict an athlete who tests negative for performance-enhancing drugs or supplements, but has naturally high testosterone is discrimination and should not be allowed.The athlete was born the way they are.There have been scientific studies that prove if you medically lower high testosterone in women, there are side effects.Some of those side effects are depression, damages liver, and hepatitis.(Farrell)
