The ongoing debate about transgender women in sports has intensified, especially with a recent decree from President Trump banning them from women’s sports. Federations are tightening rules, with World Athletics implementing restrictions for athletes who have gone through male puberty. Studies show men generally outperform women in competitive sports due to biological factors linked to sex, including testosterone levels. Even after hormone therapy, trans women retain some advantages over cisgender women. The public often confuses transgender identity with intersexuality, which has different characteristics from birth.
"In athletic events and sports relying on endurance, muscle strength, speed, and power, men typically outperform women because of fundamental sex differences dictated by sex chromosomes and hormones."
"Trans women who were assigned to male sex at birth but identify as female also have advantages, although hormone therapy can reduce these differences to some extent."
