The ‘transex’d’ body is not the problem. It is projected as being ‘the problem as it physically represents visually challenging then parallels of the body types; and threatens the social ideals created to which society and sport is developed upon.

That is what is happening. What we need to change is not women’s or athletes bodies; but creating how we do sport. With a focus on individuality, diversity, inclusion and accessibility to sport.

Testosterone determines speed and strength and transgender athletes will always have an advantage, Untrue, Untrue, T plays 200 key health roles in the human physiology separate of the sex of the body every single day. It is not based on volume T.

It is based on the combination of genes, receptors and chromosomes. There are 40,000 genes in the human physiology,100 different receptor types. When combined, creates infinite possibilities separate of the sex of the body.

@wada_ama have never done the research; and they do not even have the right starting point. The only way this could work based on volume testosterone is if every athlete in the world was bio tested pre puberty and tested throughout their entire sporting career globally.

XX females androgen receptors designed by nature for the purpose of conception, are highly sensitive to testosterone requiring 6–10 times less to attain the same level of health of someone born XY chromosome.

An XY male becomes unwell at 9–12nimol/L androgens known as Hypogonadism. Requiring Androgen support to bring up levels to meet the needs of healthy body function.

An XY female goes into menopause at 9.6nmol/L. after transition the body loses the ability to generate any hormone and reduced to a level 0.4nmol /L. The transitioned female athletes are made very unwell. Eventually making sport impossible.

The XX female functions healthy between nurtural testosterone levels 1–3nmol/L. Below 1nmol/L XX women become unwell. This illustrates the receptor uptake ability and sensitivity of XX females.

XX women and XY women physiologies should never be compared as the same; XX women always healthy, XY women are the only women forced to compete in sport unhealthy, in a complete androgen deprivation state – only athlete competing unwell as a prerequisite to participate in sport.

The XY surgically transitioned female generates no hormones within an acute few years, then body goes into complete menopausal state; due to complete androgen deprivation creating 24 major contraindications, the body no longer is able to support itself as. ...

protein cell synthesis ceases, which is a key need and function of the human physiology which all high performance athlete require need to maintain health body and in mind.

The transitioned female is actually competing at a disadvantage and eventually will no longer be able to participate in high performance sport due to the bodies ability unable to support itself, putting the athlete at incredible risk.

Transgender athletes will always be bigger and therefore stronger, As explained this. is not a transgender issue – an umbrella term. Transition and body types vary massively this is an individual issue based on body type and ones sex.

The umbrella is false and stops people from learning and learning about their own body types.

Women like men, come at all sizes, shapes and heights. We fail to support women like we do men do too social ideals and placed barriers put on women’s’ bodies. Women cannot be athletes first, have to assure femininity and men are unlimited barriers.

Through social change, women are changing and need to be allowed to be ‘strong bodied’, as they improve in high performance sport they are being put at great risk if they cannot be strong bodies.

We are just on the cusp of women’s performance, and what is possible for women yet here we are still talking about ‘equality & 50/50 medals & chemical & surgical castrations of cisgender female athletes as a prerequisite to compete in 2022.

No young person and or athlete should ever have to prove their identity or change their bodies for. anyone to play sport – to ride their bike, kick a ball or run around a track, the impact is to enormous.

This is about how we do sport. We need to educate towards a system that protects individual athlete health and longterm well-being. The conversation has shifted now from an issue of performance to longterm and protections of the athletes participation in sport longterm.
