EDIT: Now who would downvote a patient and thorough explanation evidenced with scientific data that just slightly does not align with how a cisoid imagines things work?

Most of those articles are either disingenuous, if not outright false. How? Glad you asked.

The whole issue is disingenuous to begin with. Sports is a competition of genetic freaks and is fundamentally unfair.

The reason you see black women win at athletics is also because they have more T on average lmfao.

In fact, restrictions on trans women’s T levels often end up banning black women. https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2021/07/two-cis-black-women-banned-olympics-natural-testosterone-levels/

I have lower T than them btw so as a trans woman I’d actually be fine, and probably at a disadvantage to them

These are the latest rules if I’m not wrong:

The limit is reducing to 5 nmol/L to enter.

I have 0.5 nmol/L as a trans woman and have had this level for 10 years since my teens, because I’m trans and suppressing T and raising E is literally what medical transition is.

I’d likely have lower strength as a result and would not be able to win, no matter how much I trained.

The reason Usain Bolt wins the run is because he’s got long legs, someone else could train all their life - and they will never win if they don’t have a bigger advantage.

I want to make this bit crystal clear:

I don’t really give a shit about sports.

If you’d like to just ban all trans people completely and fully then please do so.

But the right-wing think-tanks behind it won’t do any such thing, because then their golden goose - the wedge issue that awakens the bloodlust in the average cis person - kicking a thing in a thing - is what they’re using as a stick to beat trans people with and take our rights to healthcare (this includes minors btw) etc.

I think the truth of the matter is that trans women are seen as just blokes in wigs by the vast majority of cis people and because of weird societal shit that makes it bad, and the reality that human bodies are fairly malleable and vague is hard or undesirable to accept, therefore the easiest solution is to hate trannies, if possible while maintaining the pretense of a moral high ground ala “fairness in sports” despite the fact it’s almost a comtradiction in terms.
