I’ve often wondered why the focus is almost entirely on male to female changes & not female to male?Because female to male “transitions” take a hard pass on the sports competition.
Excellent point. There was some news photo celebrating a men's collegiate athletic team. I chuckled to myself. Spot the "trans man" in the photo? Good luck with that! XY all around, they're not taking any chances, are they?
Several years back on the NBC network show called
The Titan Games there was a gal on there who went the male route - was pretty convincing cosmetically, would have fooled me. While she was still overtly a she, had been a star collegiate athlete, all sorts of trophies, championship rings and whatnot. I knew that wasn't gonna "transition" to this since these
Games were heavy into utilization of upper body strength. They had a women's division on the show, same tasks but adjusted, or tweaked down a bit in difficulty so it wouldn't be totally insurmountable for them. I settled in to watch the inevitable - got smoked by a muscled-up black guy. Haven't seen a tranny on that show since.
