Opponents say [Washington state] voters were persuaded at least partly because the initiative and its boosters exploited deep-seated prejudices and misunderstandings about transgender people to erode their rights.

    At least this is somewhat scientific transphobia this time!

    Weird how this doesn’t affect athletes who transition then. [1] But specifically to this unique claim, this largely either does not matter, or cannot be determined given the limited data of there just not being enough trans athletes, period. [2] Given the results, the fact most trans women athletes fall within a median distribution of cis women athletes, it is much more likely than not this simply does not have an effect versus cis women athletes, given oestrogen actually protections myonuclei and other satellite cells, encouraging its growth versus just testosterone. [3] So really, this was a good attempt little buddy. I appreciate it, genuinely, that you are willing to try to justify the bigotry you displayed, but currently this just isn’t supported by the data.

    Maybe next century!

      Your own study…

      In this cohort of athletes, TW had … higher absolute handgrip strength (TW 40.7±6.8 kg, CW 34.2±3.7 kg, p=0.01)

      You’re a terrible troll.
