8 months agoBut following that logic trans women would get the exact same benefits from working out as cis women, due to them having the same or even lower T levels? I’m trying to understand your logic here
Yeah I get what you said, I don’t understand your point though, the main advantage men have in terms of muscle mass comes from their T levels, trans women have the same if not lower T levels than cis women, so why would they have more muscle mass? Again the one study we do have shows that they have LESS
YeSS it would be nice if we had more studies in regards to this stuff I don’t disagree, there is a shocking lack of actual evidence and scientific study when it comes to hormone therapy and everything, but the couple pieces of evidence we DO have show that there isn’t a difference. Trans women have been allowed to compete in women’s Olympics since the 2000’s why haven’t they dominated the category? Cause it doesn’t make a difference, or at least the differences are so minimal that in practice they might as well not exist
