Studies HAVE been done and show that not only is there no scientific basis in the claim that trans athletes have an advantage, but in fact, the evidence shows that trans women have a competitive DISADVANTAGE against cis women.

Here’s a quick article from Forbes about some of them, including links to the studies themselves. One study was actually funded by the International Olympic Committee. They have been presented to the NCAA as well and have been brought up in court during these legal battles over sports bans.
I appreciate this. Isn’t this something that governing bodies or sports all over the world could use while they debate this? It could also educate the public.
The public doesn’t want to be educated. Trans activists have been shouting this for years, the studies are shown, but transphobia is deeply ingrained in our society and many people are stuck on their middle-school level understanding of gender and sex.
Meanwhile MAGA and right-wing influencers reject all of the science as “woke” and “fake”, while loudly pushing their narrative and agenda. The science gets ignored by the general public because of them casting so much doubt on it (despite them not providing any scientific proof to the contrary).
Just like they argue against trans rights in general, rejecting all “woke science” and claiming “common sense” instead. 🙄 Most Americans still think there are only XX and XY chromosomes. 😮💨 They don’t want to be educated on the realities of the complexity of human genetics and transgender issues.
