Keep having this conversation: Them: "Evidence says that trans women have an advantage over cis women in sport. It's science!" Me: "What evidence?" T: "Uh..." *searches frantically for evidence* ... T: "We don't need evidence it's obvious"
And how does BMD directly impact athletic performance in a way that can be considered unfair? Do you know of any studies comparing trans women with cis women on this or another point?

I posted in the wrong place- that was meant to reply to your comment that there's no evidence trans women retain male conformation pelvis angle. Given there is no loss of BMD or significant change in bone metabolism, we can safely confirm the common sense knowledge that they do.

I never said that. I said there's no evidence for an unfair competitive advantage in sport (or any advantage for that matter)

Given we know men have multifactorial advantage over women in sports, I would argue the evidential burden is at least equally on showing that all of those advantages are lost by trans women, rather than the reverse. Null hypothesis and all that.

That's not a null hypothesis...
