The NIH-published study that exposes the gulf between trans athletes and women in sports: Male-to-female transitioners are faster, stronger and fitter than most women even AFTER taking hormone drugs

Trans women athletes possess multiple physiological advantages over biological females even after they transition medically, Government-published research suggests.

A major review quietly re-shared by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) last August suggests that early exposure to testosterone means trans women possess at least eight physical and mental attributes that could give them an advantage in sports — even if they make the change relatively early.

Findings showed trans women had greater muscle mass and bone density, which aid strength, power and durability, plus bigger lungs and higher oxygen levels, which help with endurance, as well as increased connections in the brain responsible for spatial awareness, which could help with agility.

The research, by experts from the University of Otago in New Zealand, concluded: 'The former male physiology of trans women athletes provides them with a physiological advantage over the cis-female athlete.' The paper adds: 'The inclusion of trans women in the elite female division needs to be reconsidered for fairness to female-born athletes.'

Despite the scientific evidence, the debate around transgender athletes competing in women's sports continues to rage on. This week, a female high school runner was beaten by a teen boy who identified as a girl — which reignited the argument.

If you are born with a penis you are a male and that’s all there is to it! End of debate.

I think the scientists have always known it. It was the misguided compassion of regular people, feeling guilty about things in the past like what was done to Alan Turing, that allowed the lying trans activist perverts to run wild.

Funny that These physical differences between men and women have been downplayed and outright erased for the past fifty or sixty years by those in politics and culture pushing feminism. How long have we been watching girly girls throwing around not only men but hell multiple men? Now articles painstakingly exposing the differences. God’s sense of humor putting in an appearance.

It's always satisfying to make fun of these radicals, but we shouldn't forget that non-radical sporty girls are the ones suffering from this insanity. They weren't the ones asking for it.

Here is a picture of the British mixed-sex relay swimming team from the Olympics.

Says more than a thousand words!

They had to do a study to know this? With some exceptions boys (men) are bigger and stronger then girls (women). Why anyone would allow boys to compete against girls (in any contest that is physical) is just plain insane.

Replacing the warriors in the military with females is more fatal to our nation than replacing female game players with males.

We got a word for that. It’s called “science.”

Riddle me this - How many female to male trannies are found on the Winner’s Podiums?

My guess is none.

This issue is up to the GALS to solve, but they won’t solve it by whining, by going to court, or by complaining.

The ONLY way to solve it is by simply NOT playing along. If a trannie shows up at a swim meet...simply DO NOT dive into the pool when the race starts.

Sounds like feminized girly men make superior “women.”

“The NIH-published study that exposes the gulf between trans athletes and women in sports”

The government had to do a “study” to find out that men and women are different. Keep that in mind when they are telling you what is best for you.
