Scientific expert: 'Trans women are not biological men'

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.

Riley Gaines doesn't look too happy there

She and every other female swimmer there should have mocked him to his face and informed him just how big of a loser he was for competing against women. These people need to be publicly shamed.

And the dude next to her is looking straight ahead, can't even bring himself to do anything that might lead to eye contact.
The sort of staring you do when you are avoiding looking at the driver in traffic that you just flipped off who now happens to be beside you at a traffic light.

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!

folks are misunderstanding this article and this claim.
yannis p is saying that people born with penises who happen to wear dresses and claim to be female are not biological men. he is right in line with the trans ideology

WTH is a “trans woman”?

Right. They refer to a man in a dress as "trans woman". This article is written by a ruhtard.

"Scientific experts" to the rescue.... (Atta boy, doc!)
Any of you guys getting confused by a few delicate 6'-3 teases with jacked up traps & guns like Lou Ferrigno at your Gym?

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

I don't think you all understand what is being said when he says that trans women aren't biological men.
A trans woman is a biological man whom claims to be a woman. Just like a trans man is a biological woman whom claims to be a man.
This "scientist" is saying that biological men are not biological men because they claim to be women.
