    Not really. Not a sport physiologist, but the core advantage is due to male puberty. If you prevent male puberty with blockers and afterwards keep male testosteron in low range and/or use the same regimen as in M2F transition these individuals would be better matched in a female competition.

        I have studied molecular biology and researched M2F transition issues privately. I have not claimed to be an expert is sport physiology. Your comeback has no substance.

          Ah yes. Privately. You did your own research. Now you’re a scientician.

      Are you saying some of these born males intentionally use blockers during their puberty? Let’s say these born male individuals want to compete athletically in male sports but were outperformed; basically you’re saying it’s their fault for using blockers during their puberty?

        There are now some M2F transitioners who take puberty blockers during adolescence. Some of them might become athletes.
