@Kpopggstan1 Or she's just trying to get people to stop harassing her for having a different opinion. Ever think YOU might be wrong? btw, the study referenced in the article is incredibly flawed & the researcher is a transgender woman who advocates for trans inclusion in sports. Bias?
@_MelissaBurgess Here's all you need to know about the article. The 1 study referenced is known to have numerous issues. The author, who btw is a transgender woman & advocate for trans inclusion in sports, acknowledged this stating that findings may not be applicable to elite athlete populations.
@guesshugh Also, why does Britta owe anyone an apology? I thought liberal and progressive people are supposed to be empathetic and tolerant? Doesn't seem so. Who are you to judge her? How do you know your views are correct?
@guesshugh How are you so sure you are right about the fairness debate? What if you're wrong? The 2014 study the reporter references has numerous limitations uses a flawed methodology. The lead researcher is a transgender woman and advocate for trans inclusion in sports.
@hailey_salvian@TheAthletic The lead researcher, Blair Hamilton, is a transgender woman who has previously competed in women's football and advocated for trans inclusion in sports. Does this raise any concern about potential bias in study design and participant recruitment?

@hailey_salvian@TheAthletic Participant Selection Issues
Critics argue the groups were poorly matched. The trans women in the study were 7.9 inches taller, 51.4 pounds heavier, and had 26.7 pounds more fat-free body mass than the cisgender women .
@hailey_salvian@TheAthletic The cross-sectional design provides only a snapshot with no information about participants' fitness levels before hormone therapy, making cause-and-effect conclusions difficult . The small sample size (23 trans women, 21 cisgender women) also limits generalizability.
@hailey_salvian@TheAthletic None of the participants competed at national or international levels. Participants were recruited through social media and self-reported their training intensity. Critics contend this makes it an "apples to oranges" comparison between fit cisgender women and less-fit trans women
