Here we are folks indulging in a Trans Ideology dialogue, so, and despite what numerous NGO's wish to push, regardless of what 'captured' legislative bodies wish to push we cannot change the reality, namely, however much intervention a male or female have to have their body appear to the gender role they assign to themselves, you can't change a male to a female, or a female to a male, unless we've had some major scientific breakthrough, which has not happened.
Lets focus on Trans females (males) participating in female only sports, this is what Dr Allison K. Heather has to say on the subject matter - I'd rather post a link, but have lifted the abstract 100%:
Transwoman Elite Athletes: Their Extra Percentage Relative to Female Physiology
Alison K Heather
There is increasing debate as to whether transwoman athletes should be included in the elite female competition. Most elite sports are divided into male and female divisions because of the greater athletic performance displayed by males. Without the sex division, females would have little chance of winning because males are faster, stronger, and have greater endurance capacity. Male physiology underpins their better athletic performance including increased muscle mass and strength, stronger bones, different skeletal structure, better adapted cardiorespiratory systems, and early developmental effects on brain networks that wires males to be inherently more competitive and aggressive. Testosterone secreted before birth, postnatally, and then after puberty is the major factor that drives these physiological sex differences, and as adults, testosterone levels are ten to fifteen times higher in males than females. The non-overlapping ranges of testosterone between the sexes has led sports regulators, such as the International Olympic Committee, to use 10 nmol/L testosterone as a sole physiological parameter to divide the male and female sporting divisions. Using testosterone levels as a basis for separating female and male elite athletes is arguably flawed.
Here's the meat and potatoes in the final few sentences:
"Male physiology cannot be reformatted by estrogen therapy in transwoman athletes because testosterone has driven permanent effects through early life exposure. This descriptive critical review discusses the inherent male physiological advantages that lead to superior athletic performance and then addresses how estrogen therapy fails to create a female-like physiology in the male. Ultimately, the former male physiology of transwoman athletes provides them with a physiological advantage over the cis-female athlete."
Again and again it is now argued that Males or Females can change sex, this is a scientific impossibility, they can pretend as much as they like but can't buck the scientific reality, so why this nonsense is being pandered too is beyond this poster.
