Don't forget muscle mass to go along with that huge skeleton.

After all the only reason anyone's even talking about MTF trans women playing women's sports is that we're seeing over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again how absolutely middling male athletes transition as fully grown adults, and then utterly dominate women's sport.

If being born male made so little difference, as is being so passionately argued by some ITT, if you're ranked 5,000 in the world as a man playing a men's sport (e.g. men's weightlifting, men's soccer, men's biathlon or whatever) and you transition to a woman, you should end up roughly ranked 5,000 in the world as a woman. That is FAR from what's happening.

No, that is exactly what's happening.

You were probably fed some line about how Lia Thomas went from a a 400th place male swimmer to a top 10 female swimmer right? This is incredibly deceptive. She went from a top 10 male swimmer to a top 10 female swimmer. There was a year in between there where she was on HRT and had lost a ton of muscle mass but was still competing in the men's division.
