Scientific expert: 'Trans women are not biological men'
Over the past couple of years, a fierce debate has erupted regarding whether or not transgender women should be allowed to compete in women’s sports. Critics of transgender athletes often label transgender women “biological men” as part of their arguments, but one expert has concluded that there is a clear difference between a trans woman and a biological man.

According to a report from the New York Times, a new study financed by the International Olympic Committee found that transgender women did not have clear and broad athletic advantages over other women. In fact, the study found that women assigned at birth actually had better jumping ability, lung function and relative cardiovascular fitness than transgender women.
But more than anything, the study led one of its authors – Yannis Pitsiladis, a member of the I.O.C.’s medical and scientific commission – to come to a pretty important conclusion that transgender women and biological men are distinctly different and have clear physiological differences.
“Trans women are not biological men,” Pitsiladis said in conclusion of their findings, according to the New York Times.

Really went out on a limb there.

They definitely have clear psychological differences.

Then why are the male records for every jumping and endurance sport far beyond the women's records for the same sports? We're way into "2+2=5" territory and it's amazing how people go along with it.

Born with a frank and beans hanging down? Man
Born with the va gi gi? Woman...female.
Anything else is indulging in post modernist deconstructive folly.

So somebody finally thought to ask a biologist?

The credibility of science and the experts was already wrecked.
It wasn't really necessary for this guy to pile on.

cool, have them compete in a trans-specific category then. and let biological men and biological females have their own categories free of trans people. everybody wins!

WTH is a “trans woman”?

That's why biological women routinely beat biological men who claim to be women in sports, right?

Something tells me we should look into the population of "women assigned at birth" and "transgender women" he used in this study.
