Low testosterone elite men are statistically OVERrepresented in elite male sport.

0.5% of ELITE male athletes are naturally below the average for cis female athletes.

25% of ELITE cis male athletes are below 10nmol/L
Wait!

This means that for ANY TESTOSTERONE POLICY you pick to exclude ‘men’ from women’s sport WILL. NOT. WORK.

There will always be some elite cis males naturally below that level.

What this means is under the current blanket T rules we could have trans women with natural T levels below 5 or 10 nmol/L even prior to HRT & they could have been elite athletes in the male category.
Sports need to Review and revise internal policies to embrace human rights and the IOC 2021 gender framework.
Launch awareness and education related to diversity of participants;

@wada_ama needs to establish standards and guidelines related to XY female athletes based in objective scientific research;
The establishment of individualized Therapeutic Use Exemptions (TUE) conducted by medical personnel with subject-matter expertise;
@wada_ama’s mischaracterizes
@wpath Standards of Care (SOC); they were only developed for indiv therapeutic care of mental health; never for sport/long-term health putting athletes at risk of catastrophic harm and injury. @DrAdaCheungAU @GenderGP

Blanket banning trans woman from playing rugby on the basis of risk outcomes of a group level aggregate of physical characteristics that any given individual in this group may demonstrably not possess individually cannot be considered reasonable, proportionate or justified. Image
This is before we consider the uncomfortable fact that none, zero, zip of the evidence presented by World Rugby involves empirical research of trans women rugby players actually playing rugby or in fact any sport. There were no injuries reported & zero elite trans players.
There is clear evidence that increasing the acceptable period of testosterone suppression further reduces parameters thought to be associated with “meaningful” performance advantage in trans women (which would clearly be more reasonable than banning all trans women).

Who are the 43,000 people locked up in our prisons in Australia?

Australia's prisons are a transitory population.

Over a third are serving a short sentence of less than 2 years.
For females the average is just a few months. 

More than half of all prisoners are released into homelessness.

Disproportionately, they are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and people from the poorest communities in Australia
The majority have underlying illnesses and disabilities.

Most are non-violent offenders and a third await sentencing.

Many are locked up for “crimes” we never used to imprison people for, like traffic violations and low-level drug offences.

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, testosterone 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 testosterone.

On the surface, I appeared to be the epitome of masculinity. I beat up boys in the boxing ring and was a force on the field. As an adult, I became a prison officer. It was all part of the shield.

“The day I was born, my father crashed the car because he was so excited to have Warren Jr.,” Miller said. “I cannot underestimate the expectations that my dad placed upon my shoulders to be his little man. And how I coped, I manned up in a big way and tried to make it go away.”

If we don't stop this sickening attack in Texas on trans & gender diverse kids and their families it won't stop there. We need some BIG voices to help call this transgender genocide out.
Currently sitting in the Nsw Parliament is a @OneNationAus Bill. This Bill seeks nothing less than the total erasure of any and all trans and gender diverse content, inclusion programs and even counselling from every school in NSW, government and non-government alike.
In doing so, it seeks to completely erase trans and gender diverse kids, too.

It does this by adding the following definition to the Education Act 1990 (NSW):
gender fluidity means a belief there is a difference between biological sex (including people who are, by their

In the trans sports conversation we should not be blaming the trans or cis athletes for the prolonged 7 year war on this subject. In 2015 the IOC through the 10nmol policy on the table with no scientific backing, no broad consultation & zero follow-up education.
@pjvazel ”When I tried to identify the scientific basis for the infamous 10 nmol/L testosterone limit, I was referred from one Institution to another, and the quotes that follow are from actual conversations that I had with these experts.”
The UCI states that “it has not contributed to the study but follows IOC instructions”. 

The WADA Health, Medicine and Research Committee referred me to its Science Department, which in turn directed me to the IOC Medical Department.
