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"

My point was the null hypothesis can be phrased in either 'direction' as it were. Given we know there is advantage being physically male it would seem reasonable to look for evidence that advantage disappears with transition not (just) evidence that it doesn't.

But that's not the question we're asking. We want to know whether trans athletes have and/or retain a competitive advantage. The null would be that they don't, and there's currently no reason to discard that position
