Man Named 'Tiffany' Is Dominating Women's Pro Volleyball in Brazil

No need to go all mathy here when all you have to consider is the successful hits per the total of attempts. I haven't seen the match, and you probably haven't either. Watching the match is how you figure out exactly how she got those attempts. It's also of good importance to find out how normal it is to have 75 attempts to score/hit in a Brazilian top league volleyball match (for women).

I already mentioned that looking at 1 stat was irrelevant but the stat you linked to try and display she wasn't dominating, actually doesn't show that.

Six players per team but if you have over half of the teams attempts does that mean fairness? The other half of the team together (five people) have less attempts than you (one person). I highly doubt that much attempts are normal.

To be very clear, I am not saying she's not a powerful player. I am saying that, so far from what I see, she isn't as great a player as the media is trying to make her out to be. She surpassed previous record holder by 2 points, and she had 75 attempts to do so, out of which she was good 44%. The question is, how did these attempts emerge? It's possible her teammates just simply gave her the ball most of the time to let her have at it. Or maybe it really is her physicality.

Actually, the more important question is: is she an outlier? Or is she representative of some trend indicating that transwomen are smashing their competition? Like I said earlier, you have at best two cases out of God knows how many total cases. 2 is a very small number to make good logical inferences from. And that's one of the main points to consider here.

Another question is what are the various factors that makes players like Fallon and Tiffany great players? Is having a good physicality more than enough? Or could it be that they've played against men in the past and so have accumulated skill-building/boosting experience that other women don't get to normally experience?

We also do need to ensure we're not going to find the tiniest bit of excuse to marginalize transgendered/transsexual people even more just because whatever it is they do isn't making some of us happy.
