The Countries That Are Actually Safe For Trans People

J.K. Rowling is in The Epstein Files – A Pattern of Behaviour

An analysis of 52 studies finds that after transitioning, trans women’s fitness levels are comparable to those of cisgender women.

“Brazilian scientists reviewed existing research comparing the body composition and physical fitness of transgender people before and after hormone therapy with that of cisgender people.

Overall, the analysis examined 52 studies involving 6,485 people — including 2,943 transgender women, 2,309 transgender men, 568 cisgender women, and 665 cisgender men — ranging in age from 14 to 41.

The pooled analysis showed that transgender women’s body composition differs from that of both cisgender men and cisgender women. The researchers argued that the findings “do not support theories of inherent athletic advantages” for transgender women who have undergone hormone therapy.”

New meta-analysis undercuts the common assertion that transgender women in sports have inherent physical advantages over their cisgender counterparts.
