  • Genuian question here, are there any studies on bone structure and joint strength of trans athletes? The article says there’s no scientific evidence to prevent trans athletes but only talks about testosterone. The complains I have heard center more around a person who had natural male hormones until say 16, and so had puberty male growth in bones and joints to support male muscle mass. Then, transitioned. The hormone levels would be the same as any other female athlete, but would prior bone and joint growth be “locked in”?

    Does that give an advantage? Especially in a sport like swimming where arm length and shoulder size are so critical for the physics of propultion through water.













  • I liked it. I think there may be a difference between American moderates today with LGBTq and American moderates in the past on racial issues. In the US moderates are pretty progressive on lgb issues (Idk about the t yet) compared to the rest of the world (including South America in my understanding). But American moderates were pretty behind on racial issues in the 60s, as it was still decades before interracial relationship on TV were shown regularly or interracial marriage was legal.

    In the US at least there has been real progress in most cities that make up the majority of the population, or suburbs where all the moderates in the US live. Political progress comes in stutter steps with political power since not much gets done.
