This is news to me, what's he been saying?
pedro has a trans family member and he advocates for trans rights. the OP is mistaking being pro trans rights with the more muddied waters around trans athletes in competitive sports. hilariously if they knew anything about m2f trans population and how biochemistry works they'd quickly realize the estrogen these individuals take rapidly normalizes them to their gender's average in performance.
Your last sentence proves being any doubt that you have zero knowledge on the effects of testosterone, exercise/working out, or biology for that matter.
Tell me - does oestrogen shrink trans women’s lungs? Does oestrogen physically shrink trans women height wise? Does it reduce their arm span?
Okay champ. Go talk to a medical professional. See what they tell you.
So you think that a fully grown male who takes testosterone blockers and oestrogen will physically shrink in height, arm span, and their lungs will shrink? If you do, oh boy......the school system has failed you more than you will ever know.
Never said anything about a fully grown males taking estrogen. Thats your delusion. Anyways kindly fuxk off people have better things to do than deal with your nonsense.
Go take some intro anatomy and physiology classes if your interested in learning how the hormones work. They'll cover it.
Oh so what you’re saying is that no, oestrogen doesn’t take away the physical advantages that a trans woman has over women?
Strange, cause you claimed the opposite 2 posts ago.
No im saying you have nfc what you're talking about and i cant be bothered to explain it to you. Estrogen in adult males primarily effects muscle mass and bone density. Which is where my statement about female transgender recerting to the mean in performance. Whoch is a well researched and eocumented result. Its not something you can argue over the facts are the facts.
Now go pay someone to teach you about this if you care so much. Not worth my time.
So again - it doesn’t take away any of the inherent physical advantages that males have over women.
You’re admitting I’m right while telling me I need to go and learn about the thing you’re agreeing with me about lol. No amount of oestrogen will make an average height male shrink to the average female height, therefore it cannot reduce their performance to that of a regular woman.
