They don't actually dominate every sport they enter. Trans people have been competing in the Olympics since 2004. To this day, a trans woman hasn't won gold.
Most sport institutions require that trans women be on hormone meds that eliminate any advantage.

I admit that i only really know about the cases we hear in the media.
Are there any longitudinal studies related to how trans women perform after hormone therapy even after undergoing male puberty?

@BohemianBoo It does not eliminate their advantage

@Vegasgiants So how come a trans woman has never won a gold medal?

@BohemianBoo Only because so few have competed so far.
Is it fair for soneone to go from a 500th ranking to a national champion by just changing their gender?

@Vegasgiants So then the line that trans women dominate in sports is wrong.
No, but that's not what sports institutions do. Like I said earlier, you have to prove you've been on hormones long enough so that you no longer have a genetic advantage.

@BohemianBoo And yet Lia goes from ranked 500th to a national championship. Two trans runners now share 15 titles once belonging to 9 girls. They also ranked over 300th as men
The advantages are obvious
