i don’t think you need to have competed before to have a huge advantage induced by hormones that were normally biologically there. The real question is: where do we draw the line? if a female athlete injects herself with hormones that give her an unfair advantage should this be considered cheating and be grounds for disqualification?

No- but you do see a similar restriction with pro athletes not being able to play as an amateur, partially due to the experience of competing at a higher level.

This isn't that different.
