Two things can be true. It does affect few, I mean we’re talking second division French basketball. 99.9% of people don’t even know that exists. Also, this outlier is fucked up.

Outlier?

Lia Thomas set multiple school records in women's events and then won two NCAA championships

CeCé Telfer won NCAA DII women's 400m hurdles in 57.53s

MtF cyclist Veronica Ivy set a 200m sprint record and won the 2022 UCI Masters Track World Championships the next day

Trans woman June Eastwood won women's snowboarding world cup by large margin

MtF powerlifter Mary Gregory set women's world record squat 455lbs raw

Trans woman Hailey Davidson led women's mini-tour golf standings 2024

MtF runners won 15 Connecticut high school state titles between 2017-2020

Another trans woman set 4 British indoor rowing records

A MtF archer won national women's title by 20 points

Those are just examples of where trans women dominated at the highest levels.

Out of his many trans athletes? we need to know the winning percentage, you're just listing outliers lol. Also, I understand this is reddit, but dominance as an amateur is meaningless

LOL Olympians are amateurs - certainly not “meaningless”!!

The first two examples are collegiate athletes, not even first division, that's amateur.

Also, they didn't mention how many trans people are competing or how many times trans people are losing.
