@arabicsaying_@alisson87_2605@isgaldemsugar Yet she also said "actual woman"
Also, they arent exactly male, they changed their sexual characteristics
They are woman, and arent male anymore, theyre closer to be females
@m1ss4ndr1st Some physical traits may persist after hormone therapy, but that doesnt mean they translate into a competitive advantage, the actual impact varies by sport, and current evidence is still limited, you cant turn biological averages into universal conclusions abt every trans athlete
@m1ss4ndr1st And the ACSM's 10–30% figure describes average sex differences, not the performance gap between transgender women and cisgender women after hormone therapy, youre treating different types of evidence as interchangeable
@m1ss4ndr1st Harper et al did find that some physical measurements remained above cisgender female averages, but explicitly acknowledged that long term data were limited, Knox et al. presents an ethical judgment, not experimental evidence of competitive outcomes
@m1ss4ndr1st You cannot directly use these figures to calculate an individual trans athletes retained advantage, the review itself also acknowledges that performance varies by sport
@m1ss4ndr1st Using alt here:
Ur comparing 2 different measurements, the 5% figure refers to changes in muscle mass n strength after hormone therapy, while the 10–50% figure describes average performance differences between male and female athletes across different sports
