Sorry to be the guy that brings controversial issues to this thread. But this kind of thing is exactly why the "trans women have a biological advantage in sports" argument holds no water. (Other than the fact its almost entirely untrue)

People from this region have a biological advantage in their sports, several orders of magnitude more of an advantage than trans women have. But no one is calling for these people to be banned from sports.

There are tall asians, but there are no testosterone flooded women.

On an unrelated note, can i turn off reply notifications to posts ?

What does that have to do with anything?

but there are no testosterone flooded women.

Yes there are. Things like Polycystic ovary syndrome or Nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia can cause women to have high levels of testosterone.

And also trans women take HRT to drop their levels of testosterone anyway so your point isn't even relevant.
