PartySick 172,486 Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 A scientific team from Brazil has conducted a meta-analysis encompassing 52 studies and 6,485 participants, analyzing the body composition and physical fitness of transgender and cisgender women. While transgender women showed greater lean mass — indicating greater muscle mass — they did not exhibit greater physical capacity, such as strength or aerobic fitness, than cisgender women. The meta-analysis, published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, analyzed 2,943 transgender women who had undergone hormone therapy for one to three years. It found no evidence of any physical advantage. There were no observable differences in upper or lower body strength, or in maximum oxygen consumption — a key measure of cardiorespiratory fitness — between trans and cisgender women. In fact, after gender-affirming hormone therapy, transgender and cisgender women showed similar levels of physical fitness across all variables analyzed. X Tl;dr - after roughly two years of hormone therapy, any potential advantages an athlete would have from male hormones, like testosterone, vanishes entirely. Something I'd also personally like to note, policies pushed to be anti-trans, such as genetic testing or "whistleblower" policies, have hurt far more cisgender women than anybody else. Never forget the women who've been shut out of athletic careers for having too much of one hormone or the little girls that have fallen victim to state sponsored child molestation because some angry parent accused her of being a boy.

This part. I still haven't forgotten about the high school girl who was forced to show her breasts at a fast food restaurant because a worker thought she was male. he/him/his 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trans woman = transitioned to female Trans man = transitioned to male Some trans men also use FTM (female to male) which led to a hilarious thing on tiktok where first time mums saw it and started using the # as well The gays know how to party Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for those stoking the flames of transphobia, it's not about truth or science, it's about philosophy and ridiculous culture wars to distract us from billionaires killing us all Whimsical bitch 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
