It's not that simple, you need to understand the effects that Hormone Replace Therapy has on the body. Men and trans women physically do not have the same type of body and the studies even shows trans women perform worse than cis women in most areas.
Transgender women performed worse than cisgender women in tests measuring lower-body strength.
Transgender women performed worse than cisgender women in tests measuring lung function.
Transgender women had a higher percentage of fat mass, lower fat-free mass, and weaker handgrip strength compared to cisgender men.
Transgender women’s bone density was found to be equivalent to that of cisgender women, which is linked to muscle strength.
There were no meaningful differences found between the two groups’ hemoglobin profiles. Hemoglobin (Hb) plays a crucial role in athletic performance by facilitating improved oxygen delivery to muscles. Elite endurance athletes may exhibit up to a 40% higher level of Hb compared to untrained individuals. Moreover, heightened levels of Hb typically correlate with enhanced aerobic performance.
I want you to stop and really think critically about what you are trying to suggest. Do you really think it's a good idea for trans men who are regularly taking testosterone should be forced to compete against women who aren't? Do you really think trans women who have lower testosterone levels than cis women (because they are medically surpressing) have some sort of advantage?
What you're saying is at odds with observable facts, scientific studies and frankly common sense.
Sounds like we need trans leagues.
Do away with gendered leagues and put it into a multi-tiered system when people compete for positions in different tiers, and potentially have multiple paths so that people can see games of sheer power or precise technique and there's never a situation like three Pats or the Yankees where money is what buys the best team (all players in a tier would have similar performance).
I've been under the impression that the top leagues NFL, MLB, NHL, etc.. aren't necessarily gendered, but women just can't compete. That's why they have women only leagues so they have a place they can compete. Am I wrong about this?
Only thing that is fair imo.
