You clearly don’t know much about the sport. Women’s net is far lower because there’s a significant physical power difference between men and women. It’s not just about average height.
Lol. There is plenty of empirical data to show that the best men are better than the best women.
Have a gander at the records in all sports.
If that does t cut it, how about the European studie that tested the strength and fitness of over 2 million kids. It showed that top 5% of male at birth is stronger than top 1% of at the age of 9. It gets much, much more skewed after puberty.
Because the primary causitive variable here isn’t the person’s sex chromosomes but their relative hormone levels. It’s highly correlated to the sex chromosomes that one is born with, which is what your data shows, but it isn’t the cause.
None of this proves the op comment you replied to was “making shit up”, their only claim was that some trans women have less testosterone than cis women.
There are of course differences depending on the sport. But eventually the best men are better than the best women, which is the whole issue summed up. At the very least in physical sports.
Explosive sports exposes the issue more clearly. Which is why 15 year old boys win against the womens national team in football (soccer). 14 year olds have beat elite teams in womens hockey.

Wow.
We could pretend that you forgot to say something about “when it comes to sports” or some other kind of qualifier, but we all know that’d be a lie.
So, thank you for proving my point. It is truly just sad and pathetic the way you try to pretend like you even know empirical data means.
Take your bigotry and shove a back up your ass where it belongs.
(Did you really think that quoting an extremely widely discredited study that did not involve any empirical data whatsoever was some kind of gotcha? Jesus Christ, that’s just pathetic)
For the record, obsessing over other people’s genitalia is just fucking weird.
2 million people tested. Seems pretty solid if you ask me.

Well, we are talking about sports? Are you actually trying to undermine my argument just because you can’t follow context? Stop arguing if you have nothing other than bad faith to come with.
Give me a better study showing that the trans medication actually works. The best anyone has given so far was a study showing 15 random people of Facebook that didn’t even compete in sports.
What am I making up? This woman almost certainly has athletic advantages far greater than the vast majority of the trans athletes people get so apoplectic about.
Stop making shit up to fit your narrative. It detracta (sic) from the actual issue.
Who’s “they”? You mean me? I didn’t imply anything, you inferred that. Also, I didn’t know idiots were born tall, that’s actually really helpful information, thanks!
If someone has ADHD and takes medication - as directed - to help them focus on their training regiment, would that make you as upset? It’s certainly a drug to “alter,” as you say.
It’s funny because you’re so close to understanding why sports aren’t fair right here. There’s all kinds of diseases, mutations, nutrition, upbringing, etc. that have bearing on the results of competition but you’ve chosen this random line in the sand of trans athletes to get up in arms about, wonder why that is? I wonder why Lebron spends 1.5 million on his body annually, look how fair we are guys!
Pretty sure the point is fun and entertainment. Some people care about finding the “best,” but as the saying goes, it’s not about whether you win or lose…
Now there is the actual issue at hand. Of course its about competition. That is the entire crux of the issue, and you can’t just wave it of like some irreverent side matter in the case of sports.
Kids already play mixed, since gender differences are small enough to be negligible. That is when the fun part matters the most.
I just find it funny that people are so willing to put actual trans rights in jeopardy just for the slight inconvenience of barely a dozen trans women in the US. Or you actually think it’s ok for men to compete with women?
I’ve always thought it was strange that we separated some sports by gender, and I still do. Especially because plenty of sports don’t separate by gender, and there’s no issue.
But it’s paramount that we ban the 5’5" trans girl who has testosterone lower than cis girls from playing volleyball because…reasons.
You clearly don’t know much about the sport. Women’s net is far lower because there’s a significant physical power difference between men and women. It’s not just about average height.
Can I just ogle the nice lady in peace?
I mean the trans girls just want to play volleyball in peace.
Stop making shit up to fit your narrative. It detracts from the actual issue.
We all know you what you really meant:
“Stop drawing conclusions from empirical data, it interferes with my prejudice and bigotry.”
Or, did you actually think you were courageously taking a stand for…what, exactly? Being a jerk?
Did it really never occur to you that choosing to let your ignorant fear shape your perspective makes you weak??

Please tell me you didn’t realize we’re talking about athletes that have undergone HRT and this study isn’t applicable in that case.
Not even the top men high school boys where better then the top female athletes.

Whoa. Seriously? So if we’re not talking about sports you seriously just believe men are better than women.
Yeah goodbye. I’m done with you
ESAR.
And only bad faith readings from you since you can’t understand that we are talking about sports.
Go lick a salt block or something.
A nazi stan wearing it in his username.
Get fucked lol.
How many of these best men become trans? Can you name a few?
Doesn’t matter if, but that they could.

Yes. Her being born that way is completely fair. As she was born that way. Same goes for Caster Semenya.
Taking drugs to “alter” is against all sports.
But hey, South Park said it best.
https://youtu.be/wxDaiyREBPw
There is no such thing as fair in sports.
I guarantee she wasn’t born that tall
I guarantee you that she didn’t take medicines to get that tall.
Who made that claim?
They made the comment that she wasnt born tall, like an idiot. Implying that she wouldn’t have been tall naturally.
Joke Explainer: When Anna Smrek was born she was not 6’ 9’', she was likely closer to 20in.

I suppose if all could take adderall, then it wouldn’t be an issue.
I think you are missing the point of competition though.

Sports are dumb, just stop caring.
Who said anything about letting men compete with women?
Oh, so you’re just a bigot. Figured.
So were you just born stupid or did you take something to perform at this level?
Nope, i transitioned.
And we respect that transition by calling you stupid, I don’t see why you can’t do the same.
Get fucked, asshat.
Hey man if you ever find yourself in a situation where they make drugs that can make you better I think you should take them
Just go forcefully insert a cactus into your anus already. No one cares about you.
