    I think you do yourself a disservice by using such incidents. A lot of incidents I see involving trans athletes are just illegal moves rather than advantages of men over women.

    Statistics is a better measure as it is with statistics you can get a feel of performance instead of one off games.

    Though I think the burden of proof falls on the trans athletes. Since the differences between the sexes has survived the null hypothesis, trans athletes need to prove their performance is not in line with their birth sex.

      Spiking the ball during a volleyball match or punching someone in the face during a boxing match is hardly an illegal move. Lia Thomas, who was ranked 400th as a male swimmer became a trans female swimmer and broke records. At the time, she didn’t do anything illegal.

      Is it controversial to state a male’s body is stronger and has a higher compete level than a female’s body?
