Like, did your actual center of gravity or muscular attributes change over time to make you pass or fail where previously you had the other outcome of one of these alleged “men can’t do this but women can” type challenges?

      yeahhh the video example in this article clearly shows the woman pull back before going to her knees, whereas the man just pulls his arms up from a pushup position.

      idk, i feel gender has nothing to do with this. I had a good sense of balance before I transitioned.

      That’s not what it says? There is a little bit of speculation about technique, with no evidence. But most of it is about differences in centre of gravity. Which is a biological (average) difference and suggests that trans people might indeed reverse their ability to do/not do these challenges after gender-affirming hormones.

      It’d be very easy to test the various theories offered. Fuck knows why Vice didn’t instead of just quoting speculation.
