Here is the end of that tweet thread in case people don’t use twitter. The conclusion from Ross Tucker is:
‘ My CONCLUSION, then, is that there remains ZERO good evidence that T suppression can ensure fairness (or safety). There is now plenty of evidence that a large proportion of male physiological attributes and therefore performance advantages persist despite T suppression’
‘ The notion (or hope) that fairness and inclusion can be ‘balanced’, which underpins many policies and is even shared by many scientists, is unsupported, and indeed refuted, by the evidence available to us. Given limitations, more studies are of course required.’
‘Finally, this is the latest study (of 13, I count) showing pretty much the same thing. They have limitations, but they are consistent & solid. The first of them was by Gooren, and it concluded, astonishingly, that because T suppression caused some strength reductions, that...’
‘…TW could compete fairly with women depending "on what degree of arbitrariness one wishes to accept”. In other words, fairness can be arbitrary for women’s sport. But even then, it was clear that retained advantages would undermine the meaning of the women’s category’
‘Unless of course, decision makers & academics decide this fairness (& safety, in instances where physical risk is a factor) is secondary in importance. Which, coming full circle to this study, is what would be implied if the policies didn’t recognise this latest evidence’
Apparently, this is a study he was hinting was coming recently to those arguing that WR had not looked at transwomen sports people.
