It depends on the sport. In terms of endurance men and women aren't that far apart. In terms of outright strength, the difference is significantly larger. That's also why nobody complains about trans marathon runners, and it's always weightlifters, sprinters or fighters that you hear about,
Well, you also don't usually win money or make a career running marathons. It's more of a lifestyle for people who have other things they do.
That's true enough, but the gap is just a lot smaller. As far as marathons are concerned, we're talking 121 vs 134 minutes for the men's and women's record, respectively. If you look at Olympic powerlifting (69 kg class, snatch lift), it's 122 kg vs. 169 kg.for women/men. 10% difference in the marathon, 40% difference in weightlifting.
Currently the biggest bone of contention is on mid-distance, 800m race, and the controversy didn't stem from how much differential there is between the best times, but because the best three places in Rio 2016 were taken by 46XY "hyperadrenergic women".
Testosterone definitely makes a huge difference, that's why it was used in communist doping programmes decades ago. None of those runners were troons though, Semenya was intersex but closer to female.
All of those runners were XY males.
Sort of. Human babies start on a female-ish template (hence why men have nipples) and male babies then develop from that. Intersex conditions are where that goes wrong. You could argue that those runners were male, but they didn't have the same advantage that a literal fully developed man declaring himself a woman would.
Is that even a woman?
She's terrifying!
Isn't it nice how they act like black and white are the only races that exist?
I actually agreed with almost everything point in the video, but my main problem with Vadim / CreationCat is his editing and how unfunny his videos are
Excuse you I don't identify as a "womxn", please dont invalidate my gender identity.
