You know the IOC, who have pretty solid reason to know what they’re on about, just released a study on this, and it suggests that trans women have a disadvantage as compared to cis women? Because that fits the actual results, where we haven’t seen trans women winning 0.5% of competitions in line with their prevalence, nor more, but less? In any distribution there will always be outliers, but even the ones the people causing a culture war (who, incidentally, did focus groups to find the most effective way to make trans people a wedge issue) have found to trumpet from the skies as a “threat to women’s sports” because of trans women’s “innate advantages” lose all the time. They have one good day and they’re dominating.
What was really fuckin wild to me was multiple mutant Michael Phelps coming out and parroting this opinion. Motherfucker, you have a reduced lactic acid mutation and longer arms than is the norm for your height. Should you be stripped of all of your medals, for your innate advantages? Because he’s way more unfair than any trans woman anyone has yet found to present to his competition, but that’s fine because… Why?
