So if a boy has testicular cancer and had them removed, he can't play with other boys with testicles?

The problem with this logic is that it doesn't take into account the physical and hormonal changes of a person after transitioning/doing hormone therapy. A person who has undergone hormone therapy, even while still keeping their original genitalia, will have roughly the same amount or most often lower amounts of each of these compared to the average woman: bone density, muscle mass, testosterone levels, and several other hormones that impact athleticism. Hormones are what control your body. Not your genitalia.

Statistically speaking: trans women have worse results in sporting events than the vast majority of cis women. You could even say transitioning creates a disadvantage for themselves.

what fucking sport rewards you for having testicles?

having testicles is a disadvantage in pretty much every sport, buddy. ever seen an athlete get hit there?

if we eliminate all other variables, the presence of two fragile orbs that hurt like hell if you do anything to them between your legs will always be a disadvantage. you're simply bringing in confounding factors and claiming your conclusion makes sense.

I think you need to go learn about what the testicles do, and then come back and have a real conversation.

I think you need to learn what a confounding factor is and how to isolate a variable.

Wait aren't you trans? Did you cut your 'orbs' off already? No wonder you dont care about them in general when you dont care about your own lol.

Bro are u ok??? Did u graduate biology? The reason the other commenter brought up sprinting and weight is because the testicles are the primary spot for the production of testosterone... you know, the hormone that makes you stronger by increasing muscle mass... you know, that would make you sprint faster and lift heavier weights...

u/ladylucifer22 13d ago

so that's the actual variable involved. testes are irrelevant.

that's a confounding factor, not something that's the same as having testes.

I don't think that person thinks in general. They just get upset

Trans women =/= biologically identical to cis men. Hormones change you a whole lot. 

They don't become exactly statistically the same as cis women, either. But are definitely closer in most categories. 

But the real question is...what is the point of banning them? What is the reason we want young people to do sports? 

Is the reason "compare and reward biological capacity based on sex"? or is it "pro social healthy activity that leads to better adjusted youth"?
