Someone quoted this at me in an X discussion.. I think this has been debunked but I can’t find the thread on here where this study was discussed. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

You mean https://didshecheat.org/, presumably?

If so, that page links to pretty comprehensive studies that lay out the science.
Of course, it's not the science that the Usual Suspects of MN like to hear, but it is science nonetheless.

About This Site

This site exists to counter misinformation spread by SheWon.org and HeCheated.org, which use dubiously-sourced claims and inflated statistics to suggest trans women have competitive advantages—despite peer-reviewed evidence showing the opposite.

These sites:

  • Operate anonymously while being connected to extremist communities
  • Use artificial calculation methods that inflate "displaced medals" without scientific basis
  • Have spread from anonymous internet corners to the United Nations and state legislatures
  • Ignore systemic issues affecting all female athletes (pay equity, sponsorships, media coverage, harassment accountability)

When you search for information about trans athletes in sports, you deserve accurate, evidence-based answers grounded in peer-reviewed research—not anonymous misinformation. This site provides them.

And how did you find the evidence presented in the associated studies on that site?

You know, the information you absolutely read as you scrolled past it on your way to the explanatory blurb that was easier for you to understand...

No I meant didhecheat.org as written in the thread header. The one you quoted leads to a 404 not found error. There was a long thread about sports evidence a while ago, and interesting statistics on it, which is what I’m looking for.

It leads to no such error for us. And given @IwantToRetire followed the same link and then quoted from the landing page it leads to suggests it's a you problem.

Happy to link you to all the sports evidence you are desperately craving (from that didshecheat.org site) if you like. It's comprehensive. And compelling. But they're not facts you want to hear.

And yet it's up and active and accessible to the general internet.

For someone who spends their life on the internet, it's not your strong point, is it?

Didshecheat.org Down or Just Me ?

Try clicking your link from this thread. It’s a 404. Why would we lie?

Just checked, and yes, you can access it if you Google it but your link doesn’t work.

I mean, he’s certainly patronising enough for 10 men.

Indeed!

My silly little lady brain assumes the comma at the end of the link is the issue.

Apollo441 · Yesterday 23:48

Is this the study where they compared unfit men (or transwomen if you must) with elite female athletes and then claimed that transwomen had no advantage?

NoCommentingFromNowOn · Yesterday 23:49

https://didshecheat.org

Hmm I tweaked it without the comma and final forward slash but can’t get it to work either.

IwantToRetire · Yesterday 23:50

Sorry if it isn't clear.

OP put didHEcheat - the website I quoted from is didSHEcheat.

And in the quote from the SHE link they refer to a website HeCheated.org which is currently active.

As is SheWon.org

ie the last 2 sites mention in this post are active and GC.

The SHEcheat is TRA.

rotoscope · Yesterday 23:50

The author of this site has selected only the small minority of research literature that, at first glance, appears to support the unlikely claim made that these men do not have an advantage in women's sports.

Though, if one looks further than the abstracts of these papers, they don't.

Oh here we go.
Yes, an individual woman can beat an individual man in sport. But at population level, males are bigger, faster, stronger than females at population level (obviously there are many other population level differences too).

Chickadeeinme · Today 01:26

I did find the save female sport evidence thread though, and thanks to @Helleofabore for maintaining it.
