Understandings of image and performance enhancing drugs (IPEDs) and their use has largely been conceptualized through the lens of male hegemonic patterns, treating women’s doping as a threat to the “natural” gender order. This article focuses on an exclusive, women-only online IPED forum. It aims to describe and analyze how this new forum was met within the broader doping community, and how issues related to IPED use and gender are addressed by women when their views are not backgrounded by potential male commentators and misogynistic discourses. The results show that first-hand knowledge is disseminated by women, which contributes to the foundation of a women’s ethnopharmacological (sub)culture. Women, their bodies, and experiences become the standard and the “unspoken” norm in the discussions. The secluded space allows women to challenge patterns of hegemonic masculinity, while building and reinforcing women’s experiences, bodies, and expertise as the standard. This stresses the importance of moving beyond hegemonic conceptualizations to understand the ongoing socio-cultural changes to the gender balance of IPED use and to center women’s doping experiences, and the risks associated with use. This has implications for the formation and development of both this community and of a “sis-science” based on women’s knowledge and experience.

人们对图像和性能增强药物（IPED）及其使用的理解在很大程度上是通过男性霸权模式的镜头来概念化的，将女性的兴奋剂视为对“自然”性别秩序的威胁。本文着重介绍女性专属的在线IPED论坛。它旨在描述和分析在更广泛的兴奋剂社区中如何召开这个新论坛，以及当潜在的男性评论员和厌恶女性的言论没有背景时，妇女如何解决与IPED使用和性别有关的问题。结果表明，第一手知识是由妇女传播的，这有助于建立妇女的民族药理（亚）文化。妇女，她们的身体和经验成为讨论中的标准和“不言而喻”的规范。僻静的空间使女性可以挑战霸权男性气质的模式，同时以标准为基础建立和加强女性的体验，身体和专业知识。这强调了超越霸权主义概念的重要性，以了解IPED使用中性别平衡的持续社会文化变化，并以妇女的兴奋剂经历以及使用相关的风险为中心。这对这个社区的形成和发展以及基于妇女的知识和经验的“ sis-science”都有影响。这强调了超越霸权主义概念的重要性，以了解IPED使用中性别平衡的持续社会文化变化，并以妇女的兴奋剂经历以及使用相关的风险为中心。这对这个社区的形成和发展以及基于妇女的知识和经验的“ sis-science”都有影响。这强调了超越霸权主义概念的重要性，以了解IPED使用中性别平衡的持续社会文化变化，并以妇女的兴奋剂经历以及使用相关的风险为中心。这对这个社区的形成和发展以及基于妇女的知识和经验的“ sis-science”都有影响。
