@Fozzy First of all, I said phenotypically, so you're point about genotype means nothing. Secondly, as previously, studies show that a year on HRT makes the only advantage a 9% faster mean run speed, and this decreases over time. Finally, and most importantly, advantages have never been banned in sports, so why start now? Noone banned Usain Bolt because his height gave him an unfair advantage, and I'm sure we can agree that would be ridiculous. So why trans women?

@Fozzy I would contest that at least phenotypically speaking, many transgender women are "biological women," as reductive of a term as that is. And have you perhaps considered that female athletes are not particularly well versed in these matters? After all why would they be?

As someone who has somewhat researched this topic, largely for the sake of some of my friends, I can say with confidence that transgender people should be allowed. After one year (the amount recommended by world athletics) of HRT (hormone replacement therapy), the only conceivable advantage a transgender woman (Male to female) has is a 9% faster mean run speed, on average, and this only applies if we insist on total fairness, which I would contest is not conformed to in current sports, such as many top athletes being very tall, which I would argue makes just as much of a difference, if not more than AGAB (assigned gender at birth). It is interesting to note that in the same study, transgender men performed on average better than their cisgender counterparts, due to HRT. I'd also tend to agree with @AmericanPie, and their point of where else they would play. And finally, not to get too political, whether or not you agree with their being allowed at the Olympics, I'm sure no one could argue that new tory laws prohibiting transgender students from PE class (you heard that right), are anything but simply ludicrous.

Nice to see such a welcoming and friendly community. I'm looking forward to being a part of it.
