    Not surprised they don’t want to compete against people like them physically

    It is an interesting article, and it is easy to take that paragraph out of context. The article discusses the biological differences between men and women. In this paragraph it is referencing ultra endurance athletes and it argues that Estrogen is beneficial in endurance competition and points out biases that help benefit men compared to women. Athletics is also not the primary theme of the article, but rather Physiology and Sex-Bias in general.

    People don't trust science because they don't care to learn or understand it.

    Dudes aren’t girls
    They definitely don’t belong in girls sports

    Is it normal for transwomen to not shave their legs? Are they even trying to be women?

    There was a former HS Texas wrestling champion a couple of years ago who was born female, took meds to transition to male, and wanted to wrestle with the males. Instead, Texas law required that student to wrestle with the females and he won the state championship. There's no perfect rule. There might be better rules than what's out there now.

    That is not an academic peer reviewed journal, and probably is losing tons of credibility.

    But is the training bias measurable to show that it overcomes the estrogen advantage? Or are there more reasonable explanations that chemically, the best males are better distance runners than the best females? I'm having a hard time accepting this author's argument that the best women should be inherently better than the best men at some athletic competitions, if that's the argument.
