RE: Sex Differences: Check out the gonads on that one!

in #steemstem7 years ago (edited)

transwomen tend to have far less testosterone than cis women due to HRT, and muscle becomes far closer to the female muscle mass as well. The center of mass and thus leg movement is slightly different, and thats one of the very few things that will actually make any difference at all, and it turns out studies prove that they don't amount to much.

You seem to be forgetting transmen as well, which always crush cis females when forced to compete with them.

Sort:  

I think its easier for a trans male to surpass a cis female, because after becoming a man, it would be much more easier to gain muscles.

About the first thing you mentioned, that might depend on the time the trans women has spends as a woman. I don't think it is a coincidence that the trans woman from the link above was able to win that competition easily.

they have guidelines about the time already.

and studies > anecdotal evidence

Sometimes transwomen win by a large margin, just like cis women sometimes do. You are just being biased.

"I think its easier for a trans male to surpass a cis female, because after becoming a man, it would be much more easier to gain muscles."

the exact same is true in reverse
