I gotta say, transgender women have a definite physical advantage over cisgender women. I’m sorry. But hormone levels alone do not dictate the full breadth of the physical advantages men have. Transitioning from male to female does not change skeletal structure & muscle mass doesn’t just disappear.

Ima just ignore you going forward. Because if we took a poll, I’m very confident you’d be elected dipshit over me.
Look at @martinanav.bsky.social. She could beat the majority of men during her career. 1/2
So when we’re talking competition at the highest level of one’s division, trans women will have the advantage.
So you agree these legislated bans are not the way to go. I agree. But if track, swimming, or boxing want to have a criteria that may ban a transgender woman, you’re ok with that?
Because I am.
We just decided THIS difference is one worth starting a shit storm over.
All advantages that men have over women are hormonal. It’s literally called androgenic advantage. Androgens are male hormones.
And HRT absolutely changes muscle mass and bone structure. You are incredibly ignorant.
Additionally, from a gym rat, muscle mass post male hormone enhancement doesn’t simply vanish. Strength may decrease, but rarely does it get to pre-enhancement levels. The same holds true for trans women - especially if they were male athletes.
Muscle mass post androgens absolutely does vanish after a certain amount of time (the current estimate is between 2-3 years on average).
You are deeply, deeply misinformed (or, more likely, willfully ignorant).
If you don’t believe me, I advise you to look it up yourself.
