Comment on A real question about trans athletes and records
damnedfurry@lemmy.world 2 days agoMy understanding is that there is absolutely no evidence that trans women have an advantage.
Going from 554th place pre-transition to 5th place post-transition doesn’t line up with that claim.

Your link is just to this post, but after searching I believe you're talking about Lia Thomas. That's a single example so not necessarily representative.
"FACT: Trans athletes do not have an unfair advantage in sports.”
"After one year of hormone therapy, trans women performed better in sports than cis women. After two years, their performance was largely equalized.”
"...finding that trans women athletes are at a relative disadvantage in many key physical areas relating to athletic ability... than their cisgender counterparts."
