[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Had she transitioned hormonally?

In sport, I do think it provides a significant advantage for someone who is still physiologically a male to be competing with people who are physiologically female. We know its am advantage, that is why we have seperate men's and women's sports vs co-ed.

If she has fully transitioned, then while I think there is some advantage, it isn't as much of an advantage. [/quote]

There is still an advantage.

Transitioning does not change physical bone structure or male muscular advantage.

Look at this specific case.  The first place "winner" has a good 6 inches in height and much bigger male muscles than the 2nd place winner, probably 20 to 30 pounds more of muscle mass.  She has a good foot in height over the 3rd place woman, and probably 50 lbs more muscle mass.

Her body looks like an athletic male body.

The 3rd place woman is small and compact, but the 2nd place is very tall and strong compared to most women's physiques.  Even so, there is no way she can compete against an athletic male body, even being at her peak condition.

This is such an utterly unfair pushing down of women to make a man happy.  It is wrong. Period.[/quote]
