CMV: (possible transphobia warning) MTF athletes competing create an unfair advantage over cisgender women because of their pre-transition physical attributes (height, bone density, etc). I would like to be more open minded about trans related issues please help!


EDIT: i will not be responding to any more comments, people are just asking me the same questions over and over again, i have spent at least three hours responding to everyone on here. Subs wont lock it (no hate) so im just gonna put this here




This is my second trans-related post in this sub, i am really trying to become a better, more open minded person so please remember that when responding to me, thank you! 🏳️‍🌈
I have read many articles about transgender (mtf to be specific) athletes crushing the previous long-held records in their sport, but if these athletes were born as men (but now wonderful women still) wouldnt they still have the bone density, height, muscles of men? I know they take testosterone blockers but that doesnt dimish their physically advantageous traits that they had pre-transition.
As an athlete im worried that this is somewhat unfair to cisgender women who do not have these traits. That being said, i am somewhat ignorant about the biology of this topic and i WANT to become more intelligent about it. It is pretty obvious, if you’re looking at a mtf athlete that they are physically dominant over all their other competitors.
Maybe mtf athletes could compete in a separate division? I know there aren’t many of them, and i want everyone to be able to compete on an even playing field
Please help, and happy pride month!

Height, yes, but muscles atrophy pretty fast when you get off testosterone.

If trans women were really as dominant as people think, then you'd think more records would be held by them. The Olympic committee has allowed trans women to compete with cis women for over a decade now. Why aren't there more trans Olympians?
