Doping Made Me A Man - Incredible Story of Andreas Krieger | Trans World Sport

At around 2:20 the translation of Andreas Krüger is wrong (ok, that he said that he toke the pills because he trusted the trainers and he was never informed about where the pills where for - he was told of "vitamins", that's right. But everything else is just wrong.) ... I have not seen the film right to the end right know. Perhaps there are further wrong translations later, too.

[@Katrin00000]

Krüger = Krieger. Now I have seen the film to the end. Althrough I could not not understand all german words anymore, I think that the rest of the translations were - more or less - right. Althrough mostly, they were told in a more sensational, more 'loud' tone, than Andreas is speaking himselfs.

Around 4:01 the narrator says "By 1991 her career was over." The Berlin wall came down in November 1989 and Germany reunited in October 1990. The very least they could have done for her was tell her the truth, stop the pills and pump her full of estrogen. It might have restored her body's ability to produce the right balance of hormones that a woman needs.

Most trans-men, you can tell. With Andreas, I’d never guess.

[@Sean-qf5rn]

No many many transgender men look like Andreas. It's called you only "see" the ones that don't, the ones that do walk right by you and you would never know. It's mainly due to how long somone is on hrt. After 5 6 7 years.. basicly indistinguishable. But also how young they are when they start is also a factor however nowadays trans kids are able to get treatment earlier because we now have awareness of this medical condition and it is slowly becoming less taboo. So trans people passing flawlessly will become the norm in the decades to come.

[@SwagHyde]

the only ones you can tell and pick on are early in their transition most trans guys are transparent and look like any other dude on the streets

Funny how the thing about journalism shows like this that hasn’t changed is that they still like to do a lot of sensationalizing through editing to make people’s heart strings pulled. Not that this is not a generally accurate story but they definitely could have picked several other Athletes to talk about doping with that also had similar focal points.

What a story what's one individual being subjected to doping. E.G govt said it's supplements. They didn't have a clue with their bodies turning more male like?Maybe Andreas the others from East Germany were too young to realize this since they were in there twenties. Would be an interesting movie I wonder if this correlates with what's happening with trans male transgender athletes transitioning to female. Giving them the confidence to participate in women's sports like swimming. I don't feel that the women who remain women are giving a fair shake when men were having completely transitioned are allowed with their high testosterone and muscular development to participate in women's sports purchase doesn't sound fair.. even college wrestlers have white categories too not give a weight most likely strength advantage over the smaller wrestlers. Does that make sense? Also it's like the special Olympics back 20 years ago weren't disabled athletes will participating in various sports. And back in Spain the coach trained non-disable athletes and pass them off to the Olympic committee that they were disabled. Watching them play basketball it never think they were disabled making all those great shots.. that's a disadvantage for the disabled. That was a big scandal the coach should have been hung upside down like Mussolini

There's a key factor that is being misunderstood here, judging by some of the comments... Andreas had already felt gender dysphoria, prior to unknowingly being given steroids.
