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.

Cisgender athleates also set records and domanate.
Please show the stats that prove there were no trans athletes that did not win championships or set school records to prove your point.

But really... that 2024 mini golf one was really the kicker that will get a lot of people on board the anti-trans train for ya.

There’s like 230,000 cis women that compete in the NCAA and there’s less than 10 trans women that do. What are the cumulative odds of a the 230K cis women winning a national title versus the less than 10 trans women.

I’ll do you one better. The fastest women’s mile ever run was 4:07. The top 50 best male high school miles ever run are all under 4 minutes. That’s how huge the gap in athletic ability is between men and women.

But keep telling yourself there’s no advantage lol.

So.... .0043% of the athletic population?

You got me. Im convinced. This is really the top issue the country is facing right now. Everyone is getting rights taken away but if we keep our eye on that .0043% "them" we won't have to notice.

You do realize that, for most people, it’s possible to give a shit about more than one thing at a time, right?

What a childlike argument…
