So I am in a unique situation here, though I don’t plan on joining the Olympics, but the chance is never zero amirite. I am AFAB but I identify as a man, and the recent name change of PCOS to PMOS made me pay attention to what PMOS actually is, and realised that I have a majority of the symptoms. The thing is, is that I tend to have body hair and it was never hard for me to put on any muscle.

Which made me wonder if I would even be allowed to join the Olympics at all, especially when there was a huge controversy of a woman who was born female, had female genitals, and was even considered a woman by a very conservative country, because allegedly she has XY chromosomes, and some people were outraged because it would give her “an unfair advantage”. Even though there was a male swimmer who had a alot of genetic advantages.

So I was wondering, given my unique situation, if I don’t put myself on HRT, would I be able to compete as either a man or a woman in the Olympics?

    You should ask your coach or Olympic committee sponsoring your entry not random internet strangers.

      That would make sense if you were an actual athlete looking to compete in the Olympics, but that’s not the situation that OP is in.
