If it's about fairness it's not I think the real issue is left-handed people in baseball. Ban those sick filth.

Also "this subset of people are common in this sport" doesn't necceitate them being better suited to it somehow. Correlation, causation, etc.

What's your point here? Many things can be an advantage or disadvantage at a sport. Like Michael Phelps and his lower production of lactic acid, or those dastardly lefties.

"They would have an advantage because I feel like they would" isn't evidence. "Common sense" is wrong about a lot of things, just accept your first idea was wrong.

So that WebMD article doesn't list any actual examples, and most of the statements are qualified with the same "I feel like it would have to be this way".

The idea of safety in contact sports comes up but I still haven't seen any examples of it happening. Following from that would be any reasoning why it was unique to them being trans, instead of just all people having a variety of body types.

Trans women are women even if they haven't taken hormones or had surgery or whatever else. They might not have done it yet or might not want to at all.

Same for any gender or lack thereof.

Every day we don't make a mandatory Lefties League for professional baseball is a day sports are besmirched.
