More like a storm in a teacup, since it's not exactly a coincidence (massive or otherwise) that a weightlifter holds a weightlifting record. When you refer to success that individuals have had as though this were success of mtf trans you're ignoring the vast majority, of that small minority, who have competed and not had any such success, or simply do not and could not compete at -any- level. In essence, you're just saying:
"But, look, that one won something!", yes, we know, and?
What advantage of ftm trans over cis gendered females, in your opinion, accounts for that weightlifting record? What never goes the other way, why does it matter...and what's the relevance of whatever small percentage those qualifying individuals may be?
