Study: Male Athletes Transitioning to Female Retain Massive Strength Advantage Despite Hormone Therapy

A study published in Sports Medicine found that testosterone blockers taken by biological men who want to live as women do not significantly diminish their strength and gives them an advantage when competing against biological women in sports.

The study found that elite male athletes are around 10 to 13 percent faster than female athletes and the difference in sports like bowling cricket balls, hitting long drives, and weightlifting is even greater — 29 percent to 52 percent.

“Performance differences larger than 20 percent are generally present when considering sports and activities that involve extensive upper body contributions,” the study said. “The gap between fastest recorded tennis serve is 20 percent, while the gaps between fastest recorded baseball pitches and field hockey drag flicks exceed 50 percent.”

The Guardian reported on the study:

When transgender women suppress testosterone for 12 months, researchers found that the loss of lean body mass, muscle area and strength was only around 5 percent. Therefore, they say, “the muscular advantage enjoyed by transgender women is only minimally reduced when testosterone is suppressed” and “small compared to the baseline differences”.

The results are significant because under the current International Olympic Committee guidelines, transgender women are allowed to compete in female sports categories if they suppress their testosterone below 10 nmol/L for 12 months before and during competition. Yet even when testosterone was suppressed to around 1 nmol/L it did not “remove the anthropometric and muscle mass/strength advantage in any significant way” – although the authors say the reduced cardiovascular performance may generate smaller retained advantage in endurance sports.

“...Male Athletes Transitioning to Female...”
Subhuman freaks.
SPJNK.

[Dutch Boy]

That too.

If I was a real woman competing against a dame with 5 o’clock shadow I be angry beyond words.

I’d be so angry that I’d kick her in the nuts.

[BradyLS]

It’s only a surprise to the people who composed the study.

[NEMDF]

Yes, and in view of cheating being fully allowed (in sports), I am in favor of no additional money being wasted to do “studies” on this crap.

[unixfox]

What would we do without these “experts” and their “studies?”

[BradyLS]

If it’s anything like being tired of winning, I’m not there yet!

[Phillyred]

So chromosomes/science matters? We needed a study to prove this?

"Yeaaaahuh! I'm a woman!"

[TexasFreeper2009]

that’s a MAN baby!

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

I absolutely detest that effin b**ch with every fiber of my being, she is utter scum of the earth flaming race relations with that other pig Oprah for years, two scumrats who live in the lap of luxury with security while encouraging riots and putting police in danger. There is a special place in hell for both of them.

Uncle Joe is all for boys in girls locker rooms

Dec 3, 2019: Joe Biden describing how children would rub his leg hair when he was a lifeguard at a Delaware pool:

“And by the way, you know, I sit on the stand, and it’d get hot.

I gotta lotta, I got hairy legs, that turn, that, that, that, that turn, uh, uh, um, blond in the sun.

And the kids used to come up and reach into the pool and rub my leg down so it was straight and then watch the hair, mmm, come, come back up again,” Mr. Biden said.

“So I learned about roaches and I learned about kids jumping on my lap. And I love kids jumping on my lap ...” (actual quote!)

Sadly, winning and being right aren’t the same thing because there are times when I’d LOVE to be wrong.

[Califreak]

I can’t believe they’re trying to shoehorn that grifting weirdo into office

[Gay State Conservative]

ROTFLMAO!

[GnuThere]

Going by testosterone levels is insane, when people can see the difference with their own eyes!
What a travesty for real girls and women.
