This study was published in 2015 and is cited every time the issue arises — but I have one or two problems with it, to tell you the truth.
First, it concerned a total of just eight athletes, which is a smallish sample (no control group, either). Second, it was not carried out by a qualified geneticist or social scientist, but by a ‘medical physicist’ by the name of Joanna Harper. And third, Joanna Harper, once an athlete herself, was, um, how can I put this, not always called Joanna. She was raised as a boy and transitioned to being a fairly fast lady in her thirties. So she has skin in the game and we might surmise that she, or he, set out to prove a thesis, rather than, in good Popperian practice, trying to disprove it.
But none of these caveats cuts the remotest ice with the lobby groups or indeed the liberal media, who quote from her survey as if it were on a par with the work of Crick and Watson. And meanwhile, blokes keep winning everything. Sometimes they are blokes who have had some becoming breasts appended to them and put on a bit of lippy, sometimes they are blokes who seemingly make no effort at all to disguise the fact that they are blokes.
The question, then, is this: will women’s sports cease to exist before or after we’ve closed down Frankenstein’s castle, i.e. the Tavistock clinic’s gender identity development service? The Tavistock is an extremely well endowed, so to speak, institution in London and every year somewhere in the region of 2,000 children are referred to this service, a substantial number of whom go on to be interfered with chemically or surgically, and transferred from one sex to another.

Hey, that’s “transgender women”. :)
It would be fun to see it happen to the WNBA.
No wonder feminists hate the LGBT movement.
I guess that’s a trend, then. The Boy Scouts will soon be mostly girls.
Its a shame. But there is also a certain shadenfreude. The reason this is happening is that the feminists embraced the LGBT political correctness. Kinda backfired on them.
One can’t help but laugh.
Thats what they get for creating the Title IX cluster.
This is excellent news. I trust all things dominated by women will soon be dominated by transgender men. Since women vote in the majority for democrats, they deserve all that is taken away from them by these horrible leftist democrat policies.

Lets spend billions studying something that our ancestors KNEW was true and are entirely correct. Boys are different than girls. Faster, stronger, and more powerful. If you have a boy pretending to be a girl, he is going to have an advantage. If you take the top 10% of women athletes, and the top 10% of men. Put them in competition in nearly all physical sports, the top 10% of that group would be all men. Let me hedge my bet a little, maybe a few women would make the top 10%, A FEW.
IF YOU CAN'T WIN AS A MAN THEN BECOME A WOMAN!
There shouldn’t be women’s sports or men’s sports for that matter in a place where markets and demand don’t justify them in the first place. Looks like Title IX is coming full circle.
I do subcontracting on government construction projects. I used to be at a disadvantage because I am white. Now when they require a minority owned business I will just say I identify as a black lesbian.
I’m 100% series. Two can play that game.
But now, not quite so much...
The Feminists worshipped Elenor Roosevelt and she was either a lesbian or bisexual I think.
Ah, but they identify as women, so they must be allowed to play!
This is fun.
No one is allowed to say why there are women’s teams, and men’s teams. (Because, on average, men are stronger than women). So you MUST say and think that men and women, on average, have equal physical abilities.
No one is allowed to say that one’s sex is fixed for life, and that it cannot be changed.
Because of this clamp on free speech, the only thought that we are allowed to have is that a man who identifies as a woman is a woman, and has the right to play on the woman’s team.
(How can there be women’s teams, when men and women supposedly have equal abilities?)
The 100 ranked male tennis player would crush the #1 woman. Women tennis players agree.
MEN should be allowed to scholarships for Women’s sports too under Title whatever, under the EEOC, etc.
Conservative Christians should apply for scholarships for women’s sports as a part of their college application packages.
Imagine 50,000 christian men in a single year applying to colleges nationwide as women. Imagine the rejection rate. Imagine the class action lawsuits against every college, state and educators themselves.
Looks like a way to create a WEEGIE Issue!
Women mostly vote twisted Democrat.
Their loss of sports is self inflicted identity nonsense.
they are full of ugly bitches already
You’re being conservative. The top 500 men could crush the #1 woman.
