Blah blah blah blah we need science to determine if boys and girls are different.
lol
Well they determine what is needed not you or anyone else for that matter.
Not in cases where transwomen's testosterone levels catch up to women athletes levels.
Hate to break it to you but science discovered looooooooooooooong ago that boys and girls are different.
Trust the science!
Not where transwomen's testosterone levels drop to match women's levels.
[U]nless you're a biologist, I'd stop right now.
As an actual biologist with 25+ years experience in bio-pharmaceutical manufacturing, I endorse this part of DC's statement.
Of course, you are not working in the exact field of study we are discussing, so come back with an endorsement from an actual scientist working in this field.
'Actual scientist?' Your arrogance is astounding.
Any biological scientist (myself included) has the schooling and knowledge to know the differences between the male and female body, the embryonic development, the structural difference in the bones, the hormone levels in the blood, etc.
Seriously, stop before you embarrass yourself even more.
You who are not even researching the subject matter, I'd say you should be embarrassed for offering nothing but biased opinion.
Dude, we get it. You won't give up. You are invested at this point.
You want to think there is some great mystery between male and female physiology, and no doubt there are a few things we can still learn. But there is no groundbreaking epiphany about giving testosterone to biological women or testosterone blockers to already-developed biological men.
I don't follow opinions from anyone not actually doing transgender research. I am invested in truth and science and it appears I am one of a very few number here on this site.
No, you are only interested in conclusions that support your personal beliefs..sorry, that's how most see it.
Ha ha. I see it the opposite way, the only difference is I provide actual scientific research sources whereas most of you in opposition provide nadda in the way of science or truth.
Ya, science is wrong often enough, we can just see whats happening. For example, are you claiming Lia Thomas is a fair match against the women? clearly he has an advantage.
I don't know the particulars of those people nor have I looked up any research related to this case, so I cannot comment.
But I thought you were all about the research???..interesting, I added some to my previous post.
Really, I must have missed because nobody anti-LGBTQ ever adds any sources. I'll have a look then.
I find it extremely hard to believe someone this invested doesn't know what I'm talking about. I'm not sure if you are an actual person at this point..no offence intended.

I'm not wrong.
However, the scope of this review was limited to binary trans women who are elite athletes and was not sport specific.
All that was before the 2021 review of scientific and grey literature on transgender athlete participation in competitive sport. It's all changed now, so anything before 2021 is basically now a nothingburger.

So do I, and I already made my point with the above sources.
Why not advocate to also remove lesbians from women's locker rooms too? Where is that outrage?
So this just popped up this week in the lead-up to the Gay Pride Parade in Chicago today.
Gays Against Groomers
I'd never heard of it before this week.
Of course, it looks to have been attacked like crazy.
From Wikipedia: Gays Against Groomers is an American far-right anti-LGBT organization known for campaigning against gender-affirming care for minors.
Now, how can someone be Gay AND far-right and anti-LGBT?
Isn't that like saying Hitler was Jewish?
Has anyone else seen this and why isn't it on mainstream news?
Lesbians aren't widely known to be rapists.
