Everything in this exchange just screams bs to me. And that whole oRbItAl FrAcTuReS aRe ThE mOsT cOmMoN iNjUrIeS iN tHe SpOrT thing doesn't sound 100% accurate to me.
It screams BS because it
is BS. It's actually BS in multiple ways.
- Male bodies are, on average, significantly larger than female bodies, have larger lungs, are stronger, etc. These factors are all advantages in the vast majority of sports. As we can see from examples of adults who were on puberty blockers as children (Jazz Jennings, etc.) males who did not go through male puberty are still physically larger and retain those size/strength advantages over their female peers.
- Male puberty makes those advantages of size and strength even more extreme. Boys grow significantly taller than their female peers, have longer limbs (significant in many sports), are stronger on average, have more lung capacity, longer stride, etc. all of which is very relevant when it comes to sports. None of these things are reversible. A man who takes a testosterone blocker medication as an adult doesn't experience height loss or lung shrinkage.
- Studies show that the average amount of strength loss after transition caps at 5% after one year and, iirc, maxes out at around 10% after three years of testosterone suppression and exogenous estrogen treatment, and does not show any sign of further decrease after that point. This is significantly less than the gap between male and female strength levels and percentages of performance difference between male and female athletes, meaning that trans-identified male athletes, even after over three years of consistent treatment with testosterone blockers and exogenous estrogen treatment, retain a significant advantage over female athletes.
Of course, this is all really common sense shit that we already knew, but it is backed up by actual science as well. The men in those tweets are literally
outright lying, blatantly, and the only reason they're getting away with it is because they speak from a position of authority (seeing as white, trans-identified heterosexual males are literally
the authority figures of the modern left).
(An additional point I feel is important: The twitter thread references trans-identified male athletes being allowed to compete "once the testosterone is gone," but this
does not ever happen, even with testosterone blockers, and sporting groups do not expect nor require this to happen. The allowed limit for testosterone levels in trans-identified male athletes is several
times the average testosterone levels of female athletes - trans-identified male athletes in the Olympics, for example, must bring their testosterone levels to less than 10nmol/liter in order to compete, but the average testosterone level for natal females is between 0.5-2.4nmol/liter. Trans-identified male athletes are allowed to compete with levels of testosterone in their system around ten
times higher than that of their female peers. In fact,
multiple natal female athletes at the Tokyo Olympics were banned from participation because their natural testosterone levels exceeded
5nmol/liter... HALF of the level allowed for trans-identified male athletes!)
Also, dude is lying about the orbital bone thing. First of all, Fallon Fox did not
just break Tamikka Brents's orbital, he also split her scalp open to the point that she needed seven staples put in her head,
and gave her a serious concussion. But more importantly, fractured orbitals only make up around 14% of eye injuries in MMA specifically, making them a minority both of eye related injuries and overall injuries in MMA; Additionally, while I can't find statistics to back me up on this one, at a guess I would say that orbital fractures are probably even more rare in
female MMA fights and the vast majority of that 14% take place in male MMA fights.
Trans-identified males and their activists
always lie. Always. If they tell you the sky is blue, go outside and check.

no women were harmed in the exchange. Only a coombrain narc getting mad because he can't take the truth
