    Im not American so i simply cant relate to the shooting aspect of it although from ive seen are mostly politcal/racial rather than misogynistic. I dont have a great deal of knowledge of it though so happy to admit i could be wrong with it. There are a lot of garbage men out there, no doubt about it. There are also a lot of lost men that fall for the tate type crap. What i really dont get are the conservative women who support it all. Why?

    This has drifted a bit from the original subject and i dont want to end up inadvertantly linking lack of housework to domestic violence! My point is that I think far too many people tolerate but complain about a situation without doing anything to fix it. Obv when it comes to violence it needs ti be viewed through a different lense

    Some women may believe that changing it is just too much work- it’s not an immutable nor innate property of men that they don’t cook or clean or know anything about the children, but changing that would be an overwhelming amount of work. If the man’s not interested in changing anything, it’s even more daunting, and may damage the relationship

    That’s what I mean though. Why stay or care about damaging the relationship? Sunk cost fallacy. Some times a hard choice needs to be made. This choice should be made before children/mortgages etc. There’s the old stereotype of men enter a relationship thinking the women wont change and women enter a relationship hoping the man will.

    The thing i don’t get is why do women put up with it?
    I think some of it boils down to different standards, generally the neater/cleaner person will expect the other person to change their behaviour. When I hear people moaning about significant others doing nothing I do think that it takes both people to allow it. Most people will live together for a while before marriage/kids so you have no excuse to complain if you know what they’re like and still marry etc

    Thank you for taking the time to reply in detail. That study makes for an interesting read although as you mention, it does highlight that there are statisticaly significant differences both positive and negative. I’ll admit that I don’t like the way the conclusion is written in that it only covers negative or neutral aspects and ignores or ‘normalises’ the positive aspects behind body mass. Normalised performance is relevant for weight class sports but if trans men are generally bigger and therefore stronger overall then it becomes a bit moot. The Absolute Average Power and peak power values in the reports correction are pretty significant. This may very well be offset by the other negative impacts listed such as CV fitness etc

    As you said, it’s a relatively narrow lens that makes it difficult to expand to a wider view.

    You do make a very good point about performance vs participation and it does suggest a conclusion that any differences ballance each other out.

    I’d like to see a study that could confirm that as it would be great evidence to show relative performance equality.
    The low number of trans athletes (yes I’m aware of the irony/difficulty) would make such a study difficult. Maybe the default position should be to let all trans people compete to allow for such studies.

    On a personal note I hope you get to play the sports you love and that the world becomes more accepting. I wouldn’t hesitate to play (im too old and unfit to compete at anything!) with you or have my child compete against/with a trans person.

    Here’s the thing, I don’t really have a position. I was asking questions because I don’t understand. To me it seems like there are physical advantages of going through puberty as a male and those advantages persist for a period of time. My brief googling from several different sources backed that up but I’m certainly not an expert. There also never seems to be any situations of FTM people excelling at sports like is reported of MTF. Happy to accept that might be a media bias issue. I also don’t have any real ideological positions. Trans people are people and deserve to be treated as such I have no issue with that. I can only imagine the amount of pain and suffering they have to go through. There just seems to be a lot of “trust me bro” type responses and down votes to any questions which in my opinion doesn’t help the situation.

    Except i didn’t say that hormones were irrelevant to performance. Unfortunately its never such a binary situation.
    I was talking about the physical effects of hormones while going through puberty.
    If this persists then there will be advantages. If it degrades over time then how long does it take? Lots of professional sport is undertaken by late teen or early twenties athletes, will they still have ‘advantages’? It really doesn’t matter in the vast majority of cases and possibly even all cases.
    It is something that needs to be understood though given that it’s competitions that often feed into the professional scene and the data needs to support it
