Sure. I just don't see where the "male" advantage is.
In that case we need to conduct a study before making the definitive decision. Logic, biology, and common sense tells me that regardless of surgery or hormone supplements, a trans woman is still going to have a male advantage over the other women when it comes to physical competition. But if there's still doubt out there, then by all means... a study would come in useful here before possibly making things incredibly unfair to the women who have worked so hard at their sports.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
