NCAA still allowing men to participate on women teams

That’s not even close to being true lol you are out here actually erasing women’s accomplishments while claiming to defend them

Science ain’t on your side. Let’s check the actual science:

  • 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.

The Biological Basis of Sex Differences in Athletic Performance: Consensus Statement for the American College of Sports Medicine - PubMed

Biological sex is a primary determinant of athletic performance because of fundamental sex differences in anatomy and physiology dictated by sex chromosomes and sex hormones. Adult men are typically stronger, more powerful, and faster than women of similar age and training status. Thus, for...

A Comparison between Male and Female Athletes in Relative Strength and Power Performances - PMC

The aim of this study was to compare male vs. female athletes in strength and power performance relative to body mass (BM) and lean body mass (LBM) and to investigate the relationships between muscle architecture and strength in both genders. ...

As others have pointed out, if there wasn't a difference, then you wouldn't have a division of sports between men and women. It's that simple.

If you prefer personal anecdotes, in 1985, I played a scrimmage against the UGA women's basketball team that went on to be the runners-up. Thersa Edwards, a HOFer and gold medalist, was on the team, and I guarded her. I was a 5'10, 25-year-old who was in good shape and played high school basketball. My team was a solid law school intramural team that got to the Sweet 16 of UGA's open division of intramurals. One guy played at Harvard. Everyone else played high school at the highest. We destroyed them in every phase of the game. It wasn't close.

How many drew fouls for elbows in tatas?

I will tell you that Theresa Edwards beat the crap out of me physically. She had an inch on me in height, but I could jump way higher. But she had no problem being physical. But, remember I was a law student who was a 2nd string high school player on a bad team. At the end of the day, it was a ton of fun and everyone enjoyed it.
 
differences between biological men and trans men and the differences between biological women and trans women are different arguments than that of the difference between men and women. Transitioning with hormones will in fact change body mass and muscle

Penn swimmer sucked as a male, couldn't even make the team. Called himself a woman and won every meet and set all their records.

Your cherry picked article is bullshit.

was on the mens team transitioned won some meets set some records. not all.

It doesn't change things after puberty, and to give a prepubescent child any sort of drug or surgery that transitions them is not only morally repugnant, but also thankfully now illegal. You have lost.

it 100 percent changes things after puberty.

So it will diminish lung capacity, shrink height/bones/hand sizes/feet sizes/frames, and eliminate muscle mass?

There were only 5 men in the NCAA with a faster 1000m freestyle her freshman year. And she didn’t win everything competing in women’s categories. She won a single event at a NCAA championship in 2022, she came in 6th in Ivy League championships the same year. Another woman broke 18 NCAA records at that NCAA championship, and not a single one of you could tell me her name without looking it up because you don’t care about women’s sports, you just hate trans people.

It’s not a hate on “trans people”. It’s just they have a significant advantage over cis

reduced muscle mass yes
weight gain.
bone density changes

Yeah that sounds like the exact opposite of healthy dawg. Someone with a developed skeletal frame getting reduced bone density and deteriorated musculature?
