Reasonable? Seems odd to me, modern times. Those women are not taking testosterone, it's the way they were born, it's them. They are not trying to be narcissistic, they are not trying to be something they're not, and it's not some sort of leftist plot. They were born women, but they have to alter their chemistry to compete as women. Seems to me one could argue, no matter what you're natural testosterone level is you should be able to compete. It's the opposite of testing for PEDs, they haven't taken anything.

This is the only reasonable thing you have said. There are reports that have came out that say basically that elite performers guys like Lance Armstrong and Michael Phelps have advantages:

Phelps-->He argued that because Phelps has a longer torso and arms, plus he produces less lactic acid than the typical athlete, he has an advantage.



Armstrong: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16797860/
Enormous amounts of lactic acid are produced during endurance sport by muscle cells. This metabolite is thought responsible for the muscle pain and the fatigue during sport. Its internal removal from the body by enzymatic conversion depends mainly on the capacity of the hepatic gluconeogenesis that converts lactic acid to glucose. The extraordinary sportive results of the racing cyclist Lance Armstrong did us realize that a high capacity of hepatic gluconeogenesis was the basis of his success, because it might have provided him with less pain complaints caused by lactic acid and with an extra source of energy from lactic acid. This enhanced gluconeogenesis can be due to his heavy training program. At the age of 12-13 years he daily swam 10,000m and cycled 32km. In later years as cyclist his training labour was also more than normal. A constitutional increased gluconeogenesis cannot be excluded, because as a boy of 12 years he became already fourth in 1500m free style swimming in a contest for swimmers from whole Texas. The last argument for an increased gluconeogenesis is that Armstrong in October 1996 suffered from an extensively disseminated testicular tumour. This large tumour load caused that in the tumour the oxidative (=aerobic) energy generation changed into a fermentative (=anaerobic) one. This resulted in a high increase of lactic acid that putted up the gluconeogenesis in the liver. We think that this stimulated, high level gluconeogenesis remained high in the following years, when Armstrong restarted cycling, that it provided him with extra energy from lactic acid and with fewer complaints due to the exercise, and that thus this was the basis of his success.

You know the F'n around with puberty blockers and hormone manipulation brings up a lot of ethical, legal, and individual vs. societal questions.

We know that you can increase the length of a human. You could also prevent the the closure of the growth zone of bones and you could manipulate both nature and nurture and create "Frankenstein" children.

Have some examples of changing the meaning of words?

seriously??
woman - used to mean female. Now it is "undefineable" and women are called "birthing persons" or "womb bearers"
gender - used to be male or female. Now it describes how somebody is feeling on a particular day.
latinx - didn't used to mean anything. Still doesn't.
woke - used to mean 'awake' then it became "aware" and now it means "hey I am a white person that needs attention so I'm gonna scream about injustices against a group I am not a part of"
phobia - used to mean and irrational fear. Now it means "have an opinion contrary to the left"
Bruce Jenner - used to mean an Olympic decathlon(?) champion. Now it's an offensive term for the bravest, most courageous Woman Of The Year and cannot be spoken.

Abortion now reproductive rights.

I forgot Global Warming is now Climate Change, because it turns out it's not actually warming.

Left-wingers frequently refer to themselves as "liberals" or "progressives", and they avoid the less pleasant but more accurate terms of socialist or leftist
"Pro-choice" is a euphemism for pro-abortion or even pro-murder
"Reproductive rights" and "women's healthcare" are euphemisms for abortion
"Cisgender" (pronounced sis-gender) is a euphemism invented by gender confusion activists and used as a term of abuse against someone who identifies as the biological sex they were born as
"Transgender" is a euphemism for gender confusion. Similarly, liberals promote labeling gender-confused individuals by their preferred pronouns rather than their biologically-correct pronouns.[1]
"Undocumented immigrant" is a euphemism for illegal alien
Leftists frequently use the term "pro-immigrant" as a euphemism for supporting mass migration and open borders
"Immigration reform" is a vague euphemism leftists use for amnesty for illegal aliens along opening the doors to legal mass migration
The terms "gun reform" and "school safety", among other similar terms, are euphemisms for gun control and even gun confiscation through weapons bans by anti-gun liberal politicians
"Corporate social responsibility" is a euphemism for liberal corporate tyranny and political power[2]
"Progress" is a euphemism for creeping socialism
"Free trade" is frequently used by globalists as a euphemism for highly regulated and sovereignty-reducing trade agreements.[3]
"Protest", "direct action" and "free speech", when used by leftists, generally indicates rioting and violent behavior (and in some cases, making bald-faced lies and claiming them to be "truth").
Similarly, democracy, especially when used with the terms "mass", "participatory", and/or claiming it is on the streets, generally alludes to rioting and engaging in street fights against political opponents, as well as disrupting them.
"Fair and balanced reporting" generally acts as a euphemism towards news media that's heavily slanted to the Left, particularly the Mainstream Media, and has been this way since at least the time Walter Lippmann wrote the book Public Opinion, in particular the chapter "manufacturing of mass consent."
"Womens' rights" and "women's liberation" are euphemisms for feminism (or its more militant version, feminazism).
"Cognitive decline" replaced "dementia" when referring to Democrat politician Joe Biden.

Some of these are iffy, but undocumented immigrant is a good one.
Transgender, too. Used to mean people that have transitioned. Now it includes cross dressers and anybody that just decides they're something else.
"Progressive" has legitimately changed meaning, too. Liberal idealogy used to be rational, and now 'progress' is actually just regressive insanity.

Speaking of Biden's dementia, did you see where a reporter asked him about Maui and he said 'no comment'?? What in the actual fuck? It was like he was confused by the question... you're President, and hundreds of people die and an entire city wiped out and you don't have a comment? You can't just say "it's a terrible tragedy, my heart bleeds for them and we will do everything we can to support them"?? That man has zero mental faculties left. What's scarier is Kamala is just as clueless without the dementia. I really hope we get better options than Biden v Trump next year.

How about the big offer to give every household $700. That is $2.1M total or less than 1/5 of what Hunter got paid by by his "clients"

You have RINO, used to marginalize actual republicans... fake news, love how that gets tossed out whenever something disagreeable to trumpsters hits the media
