Why did Lia Thomas, formally William Thomas, (a name nobody ever heard until this event) go from being ranked 65th in the men's 500 freestyle, but magically won the women's 500 freestyle and broke a NCAA record?
How about Fallon Fox, formally Boyd Burton, another name nobody had heard of until they got into women's MMA and started cracking women's skulls in the ring.
But yeah, trans "women" have no advantage......
I agree they should have not permitted transwomen into women's sports without proper research for fairness and a consensus of fact from other studies/research. They only have one study so far, so that really can't be the holy grail in determining anything related to this issue.
Edit to add: from the actual study:
"Furthermore, two transgender women and one cisgender woman were excluded from all analyses due to testosterone concentrations exceeding recommended female testosterone concentrations (2.7 nmol/L15)."
I was thinking of how some cis women in women's sport may be taking steroids or hormones for a unfair advantage, and it looks like the issue of fairness transends beyond transgender.
