I think there are important conversations to be had about trans inclusivity and interesting science to explore physical changes a/w hormonal transitioning more, but claiming there's no evidence a male conformation skeleton stays that way is daft and undermines more valid points.

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?

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.

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

Describing something as a null hypothesis absolutely does not imply that it ought to be accepted as truth until shown to be otherwise.

Also, what you're doing here is intellectually dishonest. We have all sorts of knowledge that doesn't come from quantitative, academic studies in perfectly ideal contexts. Suggesting otherwise is silly.

And to be clear, we have plenty of quantitative, academic studies that are somewhat related. Saying we can't infer anything from those studies since they didn't include exactly the population of athletes in question is ridiculous.

What an odd strawman of my position

Your commenters have pointed to evidence that's suggestive but doesn't deal with the population in question, and you've shot them down. Can you expand on how I'm misrepresenting your position?
