Females have between 37-68% of the muscle strength of males in general. The volume of adult female lungs is typically 10-12% smaller than that of males of the same height and age. Males have a greater bone mass; When pair-matched for height and weight males have a higher lean mass (92%) compared with females (79%). A biological male is the beneficiary of all these genetic bonuses regardless of what is done to his genitals.
Female athletes - You had best speak up now or you can forget your sport being anything other than a hobby for women in the future.
I barely got past the first sentence and notice a glaring inconsistency with the ever present insistence that we be all inclusive :”Transwomen in elite sport: scientific and ethical considerations.”
What about trans men in sports?
These are not “researchers.” They are ideologues.
A third category for “it” or “other”? Sure ... if you pay for it ...
Liberalism collapsing from internal contradictions
I agree with this. There should not be womens teams or womens leagues. I believe in equal rights regardless of gender. If women or trans want to try out for the A team, let them. Let the best athletes compete against each other regardless of race, sexual preference, gender, etc.
“NUANCED” - the mantra for the fuzzy minds and distorted thinking of deranged leftists.
Megan whatever her last name is best be thankful this “equality” isn’t in sports today. She, nor any other gal would have ever made the team.
We need Comprehensive Reform of gender identity.
If that happens, the US Women’s Soccer team is DOOMED !

Simply create new sport categories:
Men's sports
Women's sports
Men who think they are women sports
Women who think they are men sports
Let the competition begin!
I really don’t have a lot of sympathy for women here. Too many of them are cheering on this nonsense. Let them learn.
Theres something to be said for that. Under U.S. law, how is a women’s sports league any different than a segregated restaurant from the Jim Crow era?
Exactly! The underhanded M.O. of the left is so obvious and overused it amazes me that everyone doesn’t see it.
Only one way to make it right, let all humans compete, and let chips fall where they may.
Sorry, but the issue of how to structure competition in sports will not be decided until a more fundamental competition is settled - the question of which advocacy group is more victimized, women or individuals with XY chromosomes who want to be women.
The problem on the left is when their ideology is based on victimology, they’ll ultimately need a hierarchy of grievances to deal with issues such as this, and that hierarchy hasn’t yet shaken itself out. Now once they decide that so-called “trans-women” are more victimized than biological women, everything will fall into place, and all the Title 9 strictures in sports will fade into irrelevance.
I want hexadecimal!
hexidecimal...(sorry!)
“These are not researchers. They are ideologues.”
Precisely.
