What do you say to potentially well meaning friends/coworkers who say they support (read: tolerate) trans people until the sports issue comes up? (hexbear.net)

I heard that testosterone makes keeping muscle gains much easier? Important part here is that without testosterone the additional gains are very easy to lose. So prolonged HRT should clear the effects. Would definitely like to see more scientific studies on this.

I absolutely agree with you here. From what I remember, it's about a year or two. I'm not even disagreeing that transwomen at all stages of transition should be allowed into women's leagues, especially considering school sports.

Maybe I'm misreading his comment, but it sounds to me like he's saying transwomen with normal amab levels of T don't have an advantage over cis women (as further evidenced by him wanting all sports to be coed in the future, implying that maybe even cis men don't have natural advantages to women in some sports[?]). Which is just... really odd to me? Because amab levels of T definitely give someone an advantage over a cis woman.
