@JennMGreenberg The energy required for kids is crap after 40…. It’s her choice and I don’t like this is a dig because there is so much more to attack on her policies… however, waiting… is a big mistake.
“White privilege” has become one hell of a convenient excuse for judging people by their skin color while pretending you’re against judging people by their skin color.
Make that make sense.
She blocked comments because her argument doesn’t withstand scrutiny. Basic biology shows that males gain lasting advantages from testosterone driven puberty…including greater muscle mass, bone density, skeletal structure, and strength. Lowering testosterone may reduce some of those advantages, but it does not come close to reversing them.
This is dumb… why are we even having this conversation? There are women’s and men’s leagues for a reason.
genuinely having trans people in sports is no more complicated than "yes, if their hormones meet regulation standards" and i'm tired of pretending it's not
@phoenix3179@Nnhhhgghhh@oncloud_e This does show valid evidence of a possible bone-health concern, but not evidence that trans women lose every male-puberty advantage or become weaker athletes than biological women.
This is a very small study with only 31 trans women. It found lower bone density, but did not show that hormones caused it or that trans women were weaker athletes. In fact, their lean body mass remained higher than biological women’s. Bone density is not the same as muscle strength or athletic performance, so using this study to claim that male-puberty advantages disappear isn’t being truthful.
@Acyn Except she doesn’t have kids or a mortgage… so why is she speaking for people who do?
She lives in lala land.
We are actually sick of the government stealing our hard earned money and using their fake NGO’s to launder it back into their pockets.
Maybe she should start there…
@BakuTheDon They have to try out… A French trans player has dominated a lower-tier European women’s league recently and expressed WNBA interest so who knows what will happen with that.
That’s disappointing… unfortunately abandonment by those expected to stand with you is a recognized human experience in Scripture.

Chin up. Keep going. I sincerely enjoy your content. ❤️
@phoenix3179@Nnhhhgghhh@oncloud_e I have checked mine. I fact checked yours too… because with compelling facts my mind can be changed. It’s just not there.
Just because you want to see something doesn’t mean it exists.
I wish you well.
Not true. This study found that feminizing hormones reduced strength, mainly during the first year. But in most longer-term comparisons, trans women who had undergone male puberty remained stronger than biological women, though weaker than biological men. One small study found comparable strength, not significantly weaker, and even there, the trans women’s numerical strength values were higher.
Not as a blanket statement. After 2–3 years of hormones, some measures such as hemoglobin, running times or strength adjusted for body size may approach female averages, and increased body fat can create disadvantages. But male puberty’s effects on height, skeletal structure, leverage and lung dimensions are not reversed, and studies have found greater absolute muscle mass, grip strength or retained upper-body strength even after several years. The evidence is limited and sport-specific, so claiming the advantages are simply “largely gone” is not established science.
Wishing you well.
