Harvard Crimson claims it's 'unclear' whether men have an athletic advantage over women

The leftists at the Harvard Crimson have spoken out against transgender athlete bans and claimed that the evidence to support the case that men have a physical advantage over women is “less conclusive.”

However, in the process of making the assertion, the article ignored all evidence to the contrary to support their own claim that transgender athlete participation is wholly benign.

In the college paper’s April 16 editorial, entitled, There Are Many Obstacles Facing Women’s Sports. Trans Athletes Aren’t One, writer Jonathan G. Yuan writes for The Crimson Editorial Board that the “science” is “less conclusive” that “transgender women hold a biological edge over their cisgender opponents.”

The science-free citation of using the political term “cisgender” aside, Yuan goes on to insist that “science” proves that men who take female hormones to “transition” lose their male strength.

“According to the National Institute of Health, testosterone levels of transgender women after 12 months of hormone therapy resemble those of their cisgender counterparts, while their muscle strength either decreases or remains unchanged after a year of treatment,” Yuan wrote.

He then sallies forth as if that was all the evidence anyone has ever presented to show that “transgender women” are on an equal playi....

2+2=5.

They have college kids unable to define woman.

China won’t have to fire a shot to conquer America with a military overrun with 42 genders.

It is impossible to reason with human minds that have gone reprobate. These sorts of ridiculous delusions are prepping the unsaved to believe THE LIE - the Strong Delusion associated with the rise of the Antichrist.

What would one expect. Harvard Crimson is a student newspaper, written by idiot undergraduates. Don’t look for wisdom there, you will come up empty every time.

How many women are defensive linemen in the NFL?

The same number, as those who play in the NBA, MLB, and NHL.

Then why do we have women’s and men’s athletic records.
Can the wise people at Harvard explain why men’s records are always faster, longer, or higher the. Women’s records.

The leftists at the Harvard Crimson have spoken out against transgender athlete bans and claimed that the evidence to support the case that men have a physical advantage over women is “less conclusive.” However,
From a related article: “But even with roughly uniform levels of fitness, the males’ average power during a punching motion was 162% greater than females’, with the least-powerful man still stronger than the most powerful woman. Such a distinction between genders, Carrier says, develops with time and with purpose.”

Yes, from the related thread:

Why males pack a powerful punch...males' upper bodies, on average...90% more strength than females...punching motion was 162% greater than females'

according to new research from the University of Utah. Males' upper bodies are built for more powerful punches than females', says the study, published in the Journal of Experimental Biology...

For years, Carrier has been exploring the hypothesis that generations of interpersonal male-male aggression long in the past have shaped structures [as if there was no Designer] in human bodies to specialize for success in fighting...

It's already known that males' upper bodies, on average, have 75% more muscle mass and 90% more strength than females'. But it's not known why.

"The general approach to understanding why sexual dimorphism evolves," Morris says, "is to measure the actual differences in the muscles or the skeletons of males and females of a given species, and then look at the behaviors [not design] that might be driving those differences."

To test their hypothesis the researchers had to measure punching strength, but carefully....

To test their hypothesis the researchers had to measure punching strength,...even with roughly uniform levels of fitness, the males' average power during a punching motion was 162% greater than females', with the least-powerful man still stronger than the most powerful woman. Such a distinction between genders, Carrier says, develops with time and with purpose...

It's an uncomfortable thought to consider that men may be designed for fighting. That doesn't mean, however, that men today are destined to live their ancestor's violent lives...

The study was funded by the National Science Foundation and included additional co-authors Jenna Link and James C. Martin, both of the Department of Nutrition and Integrative Physiology at the University of Utah.

I think the Charlie River Harvies are bottom of the barrel residents. Not very bright. I wondered what happened to that joint. Maybe too many affirmative action losers made them reduce the standards.

That study was posted here at some point.

I’m assuming that it was Yuan’s basis.

Yeah, that’s why there are so many women on professional sports teams.

There have been 100s of events where trans women have taken titles away from women in weight lifting, cycling, swimming and track. The Harvard dope ignores the obvious.
