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"

Are you suggesting that the increased muscle mass/size of heart/angle of pelvis of those born male and who undergo puberty as a male does not confer any advantage in sport?

I'm saying that there's no evidence either way, particularly for people who are on HRT

There is evidence that skeletal differences don’t change to state of cis women (look at voice). And evidence that some skeletal differences - like angle of pelvis - confer benefits/disadvantages dependent on sport. Problem is rulings made that could disadvantage cis women.

It will indeed. It may not answer the question, but will at least be a huge improvement on the current state of evidence
