This could be achieved by either allowing higher t levels in cis females or by insisting that trans competitors not compete until their own levels have floored. That is the current discussion the ioc is having.
Quote:These are all affected by T levels - see above.Indeed.
Quote:Bone density may be reduced in time by hormone therapy, but skeletal structure is not changed when an adult transitions.I'm entirely okay with "odd shaped bones" as a whispy difference between one competitor and another. That's already true, anyway, between cis competitors.
Quote:Sure, but that's not the case here, in which an adult male transitioned (keeping his skeletal structure) and likely has higher T levels than the women he's playing with/against.Wonderful, then you should have absolutely no problem with trans athletes given a more relevant set of regulations, the kind of regulations now being discussed. Correct?
