I may break the first three rules

“Why don’t trans people just make their own leagues?!”

We did. Many smaller clubs were formed explicitly to allow trans people to play in the categories that are appropriate.

You all have taken THOSE leagues to court as well.

So. No. I’m not “playing that game”. 🤷‍♂️

@denimneverdies 100%! The system that torment women is same one that torment gays. LGBT know this better than other groups coz their very nature questions the"how men should act" patriarchy. Its y they say "LGBT is a choice" They can't admit their model of society is rejected by reality itself

[Kirsti Miller @KirstiMiller30]

I am a world champion athlete who has published peer reviewed research in this field and I say it is clear that there is male-performance advantage over females. 

Men on average are stronger than women due to the relative % of muscle vs. fat, and to power that extra muscle they have more oxygenating cells (haemoglobin) in the blood... ALL of which are controlled by hormones, they are not set at puberty. No-one disputes this.

What is less clear is what happens after cross-sex hormone therapy, in trans women in particular.

Trans women who compete in female sports are on gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) — typically oestrogen plus medications to lower testosterone. This therapy leads to measurable changes in body composition and function.

What the evidence says about performance?

After 2 years of GAHT, trans women show little to no advantage over cis women in tests like running 1.5 miles or number of sit-ups.

By 1–3 years on GAHT, many performance differences in studied metrics narrow substantially or disappear.

However, in strength tests (e.g. push-ups, grip strength), some small residual advantage may persist.

In contrast, some areas suggest worse performance: lung function, efficiency of breathing, and fitness (Braga et al., Saitong et al., and Alvares et al.) when normalised to body size.

In one study of national-level volleyball players, athletic trans women performed similarly to cis women (but below cis men) across multiple physical metrics.

In a UK study, athletic trans women (on hormones for 4–6 years) had worse performance in lung function, jump height, and relative VO₂ max (a measure of fitness) than cis women, but absolute grip strength was higher.

The most comprehensive synthesis to date, a 2026 systematic review and meta-analysis (Sieczkowska et al., British Journal of Sports Medicine) of 52 studies and 6,485 participants, found that trans women on 1–3 years of GAHT had upper-body strength, lower-body strength and relative VO₂ max comparable to cis women, despite higher absolute lean mass. The authors concluded the evidence does not support theories of inherent athletic advantage for trans women over cis women.

A 2025 longitudinal study (Harper et al., European Journal of Sport Science) tracked 9 trans women runners and 1 trans woman swimmer before and after starting GAHT. Race times slowed by around 15% in runners (with bigger decrements in longer-distance events) and around 5% in the swimmer. After adjusting for training volume, the runners’ age-graded performance scores did not differ pre- versus post-GAHT, meaning they were roughly as competitive in the women’s category as they had previously been in the men’s category. This is the first study to use both retrospective and prospective data on the same trans women athletes before and after GAHT.

In short: any advantage that exists is likely to be small, context-specific, and not universal.

Despite frequent public talk, there is no robust empirical evidence that trans women increase injury risk to cisgender women in sport.

Most policies that cite safety are based on theoretical models (assuming trans women are the same as cis men, and comparing cis men to cis women), not on observed injury data.

What rules currently exist

Many sporting bodies have eligibility policies. These often require:

Maintaining testosterone levels below a threshold (e.g. < 5 nmol/L) for a set duration (e.g. 24 months).

Submission of performance data (times, strength metrics, prior competition data).

Some sports, however, have banned trans women entirely — but these bans tend to lack scientific justification, and they ignore the diversity among trans women in body size, physiology, training history, etc.

In summary

Fairness and inclusion can coexist. With thoughtful, evidence-based policies, both can be achieved without resorting to blanket bans.

An abandoned SpaceX rocket travelling at around 5,400mph is expected to crash into the moon, leaving a crater with a diameter of around 17m. (via BBC)

The collision is expected to take place today at 7:35 BST, just under an hour from the time of this post.

It's interesting seeing what they all have in common

[Glamon @Gglamonn]

@katwithoutfur @saggyanaboobs @Lycorysia But not ALWAYS KILLED like gays are. THAT'S fucking privilege. Stop replying to me please 😭😭😭.

I don't want to have to block you

[Glamon @Gglamonn]

@katwithoutfur @saggyanaboobs @Lycorysia Women have the privilege of staying alive if they try to get an education. Gays will literally be killed if they so much as blink the wrong way

[Glamon @Gglamonn]

@katwithoutfur @saggyanaboobs @Lycorysia Read my last response and get a life. Retard.

[Glamon @Gglamonn]

@katwithoutfur @saggyanaboobs @Lycorysia Yes slaves could try but were killed. Slaves even had it worse than both str8 women and gays. (Oppression Olympics lol). Women can try and NOT BE KILLED. Gays can try and are ALWAYS KILLED.

This is my last response to you. You are highly retarded and dodged my questions lol.

[Glamon @Gglamonn]

@katwithoutfur @saggyanaboobs @Lycorysia Women can revolt against the system and LIVE. Gays CANNOT. Get that into your thick useless skull. LGBT commit suicide per capita more than str8 women. Don't fucking play.

[Glamon @Gglamonn]

@katwithoutfur @saggyanaboobs @Lycorysia You are the illiterate who is still avoiding my questions. Women have the opportunity/privilege of not being killed if they mess up. Gay men don't have such. U brought privilege i to this, not me. If a woman should revolt, she is not 100% killed. If gays try they're 100% killed.

[Glamon @Gglamonn]

@katwithoutfur @saggyanaboobs @Lycorysia Have you heard of lavender marriages? Gay men in the middle east literally do this all the time. The woman can benefit by having plausible deniability with the man. The man also benefits too. Gay men ON AVERAGE are more pro-women's right. Check any online gay community in the ME

[Glamon @Gglamonn]

@katwithoutfur @saggyanaboobs @Lycorysia Get back up to TRYING. Gay men can't literally try to break out of norms because they have ONE TRIAL. A gay man that is caught IS ALWAYS KILLED. A woman that is caught can try another day. This is oppression Olympics for you

[Glamon @Gglamonn]

@katwithoutfur @saggyanaboobs @Lycorysia If a woman tries to break out of line, she has lower chances of being killed. That is literally HOPE. Gay men have no such hope. They are killed instantly. So yes, I'd prefer having more chances to fail because it means I have more opportunities to break put of the system

[Glamon @Gglamonn]

@katwithoutfur @saggyanaboobs @Lycorysia Gays are tortured by society because they have to hurt themselves to avoid persecution. U have still not answered my quesion btw? Do you admit women have some privilege over gay men since they have more chances at failing without death? Because this is what you've implied, stupid

[Glamon @Gglamonn]

@katwithoutfur @saggyanaboobs @Lycorysia Idiot. I am from Nigeria where gays are killed and systematically oppressed by the law itself. I can fucking assure you that they are more progressive on average than highly religious women who are against their own rights, dumb dumb. In the ME, I'd bet it's the same.

[Glamon @Gglamonn]

@katwithoutfur @saggyanaboobs @Lycorysia You can't one-up me with this lol. Women can at least fail and get back up. Gays don't have this chance bcos JUST ONE failure means death. I can play oppression Olympics dear.

[Glamon @Gglamonn]

@katwithoutfur @saggyanaboobs @Lycorysia I just checked your profile. You're from the US lol 🫠. Anyway, gay men are tortured by society+torture themselves +have NO CHANCE to fail once. Women are tortured by societybut have more chances to fail compared to gay men doofus. They have more privilege in this area over gays
