Studies have not found any evidence that trans athletes, specifically trans female athletes (y’know, since no one cares about disadvantages that trans male athletes might face for some reason :soviet-hmm:), outperform cis female athletes. This is all just a moral panic around femininity. Some women have higher natural levels of testosterone. Others don’t.

It just makes the news when a trans woman breaks an athletic record because our society is deeply transphobic.

plus as a trans woman you have to be on a variety of t blockers for 2 years to get your T low enough anyways. so you are already at a disadvantage to people who dont have to take miscellaneous medications. side effects to those meds can be pretty detrimental to athletic performance, too. things like dizziness and lowered blood pressure

I mean you are right, nobody really cares about athletes being born with higher testosterone levels or CO2 max I really shouldn’t even care since I don’t really watch conventional sports.

That’s how I feel about it. I don’t watch sports. When I do, they tend to be men’s sports for various reasons tied to the way our society values men’s sports more. I don’t think I’ve seen women’s sports in person since high school.
