1) Se que algunxs vieron los cambios en los pronombres y en mi forma de expresarme
Si, es justamente eso que están pensando(🏳️⚧️), no es un roleplay o una temática, y se que el tema es delicado por que hace poco hubo una polémica sobre la supuesta ocupación de espacios diversos +
Voir une militante néo-nazie faire le salut hitlérien devant une ambassade montre l'urgence de combattre l'extrême droite radicale. Il n'y a ni débat ni banalisation possible face au fascisme.
Did you know that 150,000 people marched in defence of trans rights yesterday in Central london? The biggest protest for trans rights in history?
Barely a whisper on the news.
We remain an uncomfortable inconvenience for those who are hungry for billionaire hatebucks.
In sports without weight categories, height and weight do not meet the threshold to be considered characteristics involved with “intolerable unfairness.”
Advantages due to being taller or heavier in these sports (e.g., basketball, volleyball, rugby) are not currently considered “unfair”.
The average NBA player, for example, is nearly 10 inches taller than the average man and 40 pounds heavier.
Male and female muscle is the same strength when comparing equivalent cross section/size.
Much of the increased strength of cis-men compared to cis-women can be explained by height differences.
When adjusting for height and fat free mass, this relative difference disappears. Lean body mass increases with height for both men and women.
Suppressed testosterone in trans women results in reduced muscle mass over time and inhibits the ability to build as much muscle as those who have their normal or high concentrations of testosterone.
The limiting factor in endurance sport is not the size of an athletes lungs. The limiting factor is the oxygen carrying capacity of blood (red blood cell count which is affected by hormones.
Without a doubt the single most important physiological factor for endurance athletes is hemoglobin.
In sports it’s often measured as hematocrit levels. Hematocrit is the percentage of blood that's red blood cells.
That's the reason that endurance athletes go to altitude to train, or [those who cheat] use blood doping or EPO. There are a lot of things that go into making an endurance athlete, but the single most important factor would be hemoglobin levels.
Testosterone suppression reduces the oxygen-carrying hemoglobin in blood to cisgender female levels after around three months of GAHT.
A trans woman's body with their reduced levels of the oxygen-carrying hemoglobin in their blood will be significantly underpowered.
Trans women have less delivery of oxygen to the working muscles produces a higher rate of metabolites and consequently results in muscle fatigue.
While estrogen supplementation greatly increases the total body fat percentage in trans women.
This results in what we call reduced fat-free mass. Fat provides resistance for movement, as opposed to a muscle, which provides torque for movement. Consequently, the more fat-free mass someone has, the better athlete they are likely to be — independent of skill level.
A relatively unknown study from 2021 took strength data from eight trans women and eight matched cisgender males and females. It found that the measured strength of trans women was not as low as cis women, but nowhere near as high as cis men.
But when the strength of cis men and women was divided by their fat-free mass, they were equal. Conversely, when trans women's strength was divided by their fat-free mass, they were around 19% weaker, kilogram for kilogram, than cis men and women.

Alvares et al (2022) noted trans women had a lower VO2 peak/lean mass index,& lower mean strength/lean mass index than both cis women & cis men.
Trans women once again produced less force per gram of muscle than both cis women & cis men.

Based on this data, a cisgender male and a trans woman cannot be equated.
Existing research suggests that transgender women do not equate to cisgender men in either physiological or performance terms.
Testosterone suppression coupled with estrogen supplementation (on a case by case basis) is the best way to make decisions for the eligibility trans women competing in the female category of sport.
It's ultimately a question of how long that treatment should be for each athlete and each sport.
Cheung & colleagues suggest, REASONABLE accommodations for the inclusion of TRANS WOMEN are sport specific & COULD be based on the range of competitive ADVANTAGES & ABILITIES that are ALREADY accepted in the CIS FEMALE population.

No importa la opinión que tengan sobre este tipo de protesta, las personas LGBT vivimos en peligro, pero desde el próximo 7 de agosto volveremos a ser perseguidos con discursos sobre ideologías imaginarias y religiones opresoras. Todo tipo de protesta es NECESARIA
Sipo amigo lxs trans elegimos tener disforia, sufrir discriminación y ser el chico expiatorio del odio social pq así podemos entrar a GC y no tener ni sueldo a menos que llegui a Tier 1
Las weas que una tiene que leer xd
@1nercy_ Mierda real como dicen los lolos
Yo aún no me acostumbro a ciertas weas del cs pero el gunplay (sobre todo con AK) se me hace súper liviano y sencillo
Her name is Megan Rapinoe. The US women's team were the best football team on earth. Four World Cups. Four Olympic gold medals. The men failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup entirely. The women were still paid significantly less. Lower salaries. Lower bonuses. Lower prize money. Same federation.
Different rules.
In 2019 Megan and her teammates sued the United States Soccer Federation for gender discrimination. The federation fought back. Argued the pay gap was justified. Argued the men generated more revenue. The women kept fighting.
In 2022 US Soccer agreed to pay both teams equally - permanently. Every female player who had been underpaid received back pay. The most successful team in American football history had to sue their own federation to be treated the same as the men who couldnt even make the tournament. They won. Every penny.
