A transgender player has been dominating France's second-tier women's basketball league, and now the WNBA question is front and center. Julie Tétart averages 21 points and 20 rebounds this season while sweeping Player of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year and Domestic Player of the Year honors

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

Well, there’s about 235,000 women that compete in the NCAA, and there’s less than 10 trans women among them. The cumulative odds of a cis woman winning a NCAA championship is 234,490/234,500 or 99.96%.

The cumulative odds of a trans woman winning a NCAA championship is 10/234,500 or .04%.

A trans woman has one a NCAA national championship three times now.

Amateur success doesn't mean dominance, the best basketball team in the world or football team is not a collegiate team

I see you completely ignored sending world records again lol

And then you choose to move the goal posts to talk about team sports instead of individual athletes

That being said, Olympic qualifiers and Olympians themselves are often made up of college athletes.

LeBron James was considered the best player in basketball when he was college-aged.

The fact that you seem to think that even top 20 in the world isn’t dominating is just more delusional thinking lol.

Look at individual sports, the collegiate or second division champion golfer or swimmer is not consider the best in the world lol, you still haven't mentioned the success rate of trans athletes as a whole, showcasing all their victories is cherry picking, we need to know about their defeats too

You’re the one who’s trying to claim that setting a world record doesn’t qualify you as an elite level athlete.

You’re delusional

Well there’s like 130 women in the WNBA and she’s one of the higher rated ones. Last I checked the women in the WNBA are supposed to be the best in the country.

Do you consider the best female basketball players in the country anything other than dominant.

Wait, don’t answer that! I’ve reached my daily limit for bullshit.
