    Taking hormones does not undo all of the benefits of male puberty body development. This is science that has been proven.

    You simply cannot say that no trans women has an advantage, it’s just false.

    Given that at least some have an unfair advantage, they should not be allowed to participate in a division created specifically to avoid having to compete against that advantage.

    It’s that simple.

      Are you going to acknowledge that was not the argument I was making?

      Apparently fairness is not as important to you on a personal level.

        The argument you made was that ALL trans women had to be better than Britney Griner for it to be unfair.

        I countered by saying if even a single trans women, because of their male puberty development, was better than Britney Griner then it would be unfair.

        The entire point of having a women’s league at all is to exclude men, specifically because their bodies are vastly stronger when comparing two of the peak athletes in that sport.
