Why not have 2 categories for sport? "open" and "female"?

Or just 1?

Yeah. If they're combined, why would title IX matter?

Regardless if someone is on on hormone therapy, the fact that they went through a male puberty makes a massive difference in their current physiology. It's why puberty blockers are more effective at repressing male secondary sexual characteristics than hormone therapy. Is there someone in this thread that actually know about this? I'm about 70%.

I'm having trouble parsing that.
I assume you don't mean that there is no evidence of individuals whom have undergone male puberty being able to jump higher and run faster?

Nah. Couldn't give a poo poo about sports.
I like science though.

How many trans women compete?

You're going to need to provide some evidence because that's also as tough to believe as everything else you've said with what you've provided.

I guess I thought that was obvious. High school boys regularly beat the record for the woman's 100m sprint for example.

For individuals that had undergone HRT in the air force after a male puberty, there was a dogshit study with like N=60 earlier in the thread that I think is the best around for now. The authors were pretty up front with the serious limitations of the study, though. Is there anything better you can point me to?

Ok, so why aren't trans women dominating in sprint then?

Because there are far fewer trans women athletes than cis women athletes.

This doesn't follow at all.


Why doesn't one of those high school boys transition and come in first place in every every sprint competition if this all works the way you're claiming it does?

Massive social pressure, the relatively rarity of transgenderism and transphobia.
