So I skipped the first 2 articles u sent and went directly to the sources that those articles quote. Ur 3rd link has at the very top “This article was published in Scientific American’s former blog network and reflects the views of the author, not necessarily those of Scientific American” one persons opinion means jack shit so im gonna ignore it.

So let’s just examine the conclusion of the first study

While an advantage in terms of Lean Body Mass (LBM), Cross Section Area (CSA) and strength may persist statistically after 12 months, there is no evidence that this translates to any performance advantage as compared to elite cis-women athletes of similar size and height.

of similar size and height if we ignore the biggest effects then we have very little difference who would have thaught

This is contrasted with other changes, such as hemoglobin (HG), which normalize within the cis women range within four months of starting testosterone suppression. For pre-suppression trans women it is currently unknown when during the first 12 months of suppression that any advantage may persist. The duration of any such advantage is likely highly dependent on the individual’s pre-suppression LBM which, in turn varies, greatly and is highly impacted by societal factors and individual circumstance.

This aknowleges that pre transition women defiantly have an advantage. Are u proposing that if a trans women is to compete in sports they must have undergone said transition process for at least 12months.

If u look at the graphs from the second study that has the various relevant performance metrics u will notice that the trans women are more simmillar to the cis men than they are to cis women. The raw data doesn’t lie.

Because it isn’t an “opinion” it’s plain old bigotry.

Well u both got the mod on ur side. My sister plays sports and has competed against trans people and at least some of them have a significant advantage. The size and strength difference for teenagers can be significant especially in a high physicality sports.
