Literally everybody at the top levels of practically any sport is a freak athlete anyway, so talking about “averages” is a little pointless to me. brings to mind the Connor Ruebusch saying: “Athleticism is a type of cheating.”

Besides that, trans athletes have been allowed to compete in the Olympics for how long now? And yet, where are these trans women with gold and silver medals that there should be if they really had some completely unfair advantages?

This reminds me of that story of a highschool girl’s track runner who was pissed because a trans girl outperformed her, and she was crying about unfair advantages and shit, but it turned out that she was like 6th and had been bumped to 7th, and the top five were all cis anyway. So she just wasn’t that great and wanted an excuse, and pinned it on some trans kid that ran faster (and everybody played along and pretended to give a shit about girl’s highschool track just to be transphobes).

Pretty much, it seems like the cis have found the one or two trans women who are actually good athletes and are whipping that horse till the meat falls of the bone. Meanwhile all the genuinely well done studies I have seen show trans women on average have a slight disadvantage over cis women because they have 1) lower testosterone levels and 2) a higher bone mass to soft tissue ratio. Basically this is just bigots looking to justify being bigots without just coming out and saying “I want to exterminate these people.”
