[Shizuku]

Trans girls in sport are not the sinister characters some people make them out to be.

And as you can see - her friends are very happy for her to join in:

What a sweetie.

Here is that USAF study if anyone is interested.

Effect of gender affirming hormones on athletic performance in transwomen and transmen: implications for sporting organisations and legislators

Summary The 15–31% athletic advantage that transwomen displayed over their female counterparts prior to starting gender affirming hormones declined with feminising therapy. However, transwomen still had a 9% faster mean run speed after the 1 year period of testosterone suppression that is recommended by World Athletics for inclusion in women’s events.

It is interesting reading as it also leaves the suggestion that even after 3 years advantage still exists.

I see your bone density and raise you skeletal differences, larger heart, larger lungs, greater muscle mass, different centre of gravity...
List goes on...

@Helleofabore I totally agree with you, by the way. Of course they should be separate. The erosion of women's sport is insidious and depressing. But who cares about women?

But who cares about women?

Women are rarely valued unless they are of use to men. They're certainly useful in propping up men's egos.

Male and female physiology is completely different. Bodies are impacted by medication and preventing puberty but remain male/female
Why are people so invested in trying to prove this isn't the case

Destabilising known science to progress one group's agenda, sadly.
