I'm curious to hear what trans people and allies think of trans women in women sports.

To me this seems like an area where we really do have to differentiate between a biological woman and a trans woman in the name of fair competition.

What do you think?
Is there any science which would disconfirm this position?

If they have been born biological males then they will have a huge advantage over biological females.

Muscle mass means that males are 40% stronger on average than females of the same weight. Other factors such as bone density, lung capacity and heart size all of which have a massive impact on sporting performance are all much larger in males.

For me, it is a no-brainer. There is no way trans-women should be allowed to compete against women. They have had too much of a biological advantage.
