@santalord @AWGHAF @MrSuds88 Lol what’s the problem with sig Romeo? Genuinely curious

[William Gumpert @BenJohnsonJOI]

@anoncat47680351 @sboutelle21 @CanadaKlr @anactualwalnut I know how testosterone works, believe me. Don’t know why that guy is arguing that test doesn’t build muscle mass. My point is that there’s no evidence for the nonexistence of genetic, gender-based advantages even after hormone therapy

@mana_of_moria @WMithril @traumareenact0r This guy is an “animist” Dude thinks rocks and trees have souls and derides you for quoting the Bible lmfao. The fact these retards can make a community of themselves on the internet now is so awful

[William Gumpert @BenJohnsonJOI]

@anoncat47680351 @sboutelle21 @CanadaKlr @anactualwalnut Stop engaging lol this person isn’t providing evidence of anything. this is just someone throwing a tantrum now

[William Gumpert @BenJohnsonJOI]

@anoncat47680351 @CanadaKlr @sboutelle21 @anactualwalnut Other guy said it, but there isn’t any evidence showing that blockers are reversible, nor evidence showing that using blockers doesn’t provide a genetic advantage. You haven’t provided any after I told you why the most often cited study was wrong

[William Gumpert @BenJohnsonJOI]

@anoncat47680351 @CanadaKlr @sboutelle21 @anactualwalnut You are asking people to be okay with their daughters’ confidence being smashed, to be uncomfortable in their own locker rooms, and to accept when things like scholarships are taken away when you ask to let men into women’s sports. Just not palatable for the public

[William Gumpert @BenJohnsonJOI]

@anoncat47680351 @CanadaKlr @sboutelle21 @anactualwalnut Michael Phelps is a man competing against men. By allowing trans to compete youre opening the competitor pool to people with gender based advantages. There are outliers, but on average the advantages don’t change. No one supports this

@DoomSlayer_22 @Brammflakes @That_CS_Alfredo What’s your cpu

@BFazo4 @SturdyAlpaca @Howlingmutant0 @ffshjkv Glacier apes is a banger, keep making up slurs until you find one that works on us please

[William Gumpert @BenJohnsonJOI]

@anoncat47680351 @sboutelle21 @anactualwalnut Well, now you’re doing the “it’s not happening” -> “okay it’s happening but it’s not even a big deal” -> “it’s happening and it’s a good thing” trope. This is why people have a hard time taking this disorder seriously and it doesn’t help anyone.

[William Gumpert @BenJohnsonJOI]

@anoncat47680351 @sboutelle21 @anactualwalnut As I said, I haven’t read deeply into that particular study yet but thought it could be helpful. I’d like to see if you can provide studies that support your claims though, as you did assert them first

[William Gumpert @BenJohnsonJOI]

@anoncat47680351 @sboutelle21 @anactualwalnut https://t.co/hldVVsDjMg I haven’t fully analyzed this yet, but it explains a lot, even down to how natal testosterone provides faster visual processing in the brain. These are inherent traits that don’t change even with prepubescent therapies

[William Gumpert @BenJohnsonJOI]

@anoncat47680351 @sboutelle21 @anactualwalnut https://t.co/Tjy9IjXFUJ this is the one I see cited most often. Do you have any studies aside from this one? You mentioned googling, if you google “trans study athletes” google AI incorrectly takes this study’s findings as fact. Absolutely not the case when you look into it

[William Gumpert @BenJohnsonJOI]

@anoncat47680351 @sboutelle21 @anactualwalnut There is no discernible difference in upper-body strength after transition. I can keep going, just say the word. No ill will towards trans people but it’s just blatantly incorrect science on its face.

[William Gumpert @BenJohnsonJOI]

@anoncat47680351 @sboutelle21 @anactualwalnut Alvares 2025 compared trans women to cis women who were national-level athletes with more training experience, height, and mass. They flagged this as a confounder but did not remove from study. Removing that outlier completely reversed their finding that (1/2)

[William Gumpert @BenJohnsonJOI]

@anoncat47680351 @sboutelle21 @anactualwalnut I’ve seen these studies and have a minor in kinesiology, can you link a couple that don’t have flawed methodology? The big one (Alvares et. al.), that pooled 52 studies has been widely discredited in academia and I can give you numerous reasons why

[William Gumpert @BenJohnsonJOI]

@anoncat47680351 @sboutelle21 @anactualwalnut Nationals in what sport? Also I should’ve qualified, ftm is worlds more acceptable than the other way around because there’s almost no inherent physical advantages

[William Gumpert @BenJohnsonJOI]

@anoncat47680351 @sboutelle21 @anactualwalnut Have you ever played sports at a high level or did you just spent your childhood on discord and decide you were trans? There’s a reason 99% of female and male athletes are against it lmfao

[William Gumpert @BenJohnsonJOI]

@anoncat47680351 @popokarpingle @sboutelle21 @anactualwalnut What about the things that don’t change that come with hormone therapy? What about the higher male center of gravity, allowing for faster and more powerful upper body movement? You also didn’t address the fact that lung size, heart size, bone density are massive factors in sports

[William Gumpert @BenJohnsonJOI]

@anoncat47680351 @sboutelle21 @anactualwalnut Size ranges are absolutely controlled in athletic setting. The ranges are controlled by sex. The average WNBA player height is 6 feet. The average NBA Player height is 6’6”. On average, women are shorter than men. That is the controlling factor
