{{PageSeo | description = Transwomen competing in women's sports creates a problem for women, since male physiology brings many performance advantages. }} | |||
Since the [[Trans activism|trans activist]] notion of "trans women are women" is meant literally, it follows that transwomen would be allowed to partake in women's sports. When a sports organization adheres to this notion, it poses a problem to women's sports, since the various physiological differences between the sexes allow peak-performing male athletes to significantly outperform peak-performing female athletes in most disciplines. The extent to which [[hormone replacement therapy]] (HRT) decreases the advantages of being male is yet unstudied, however it is clear that many of the changes the male body undergoes during puberty are not reversed by HRT, such as overall body size, skeletal structure, or the size of the lungs and heart. | Since the [[Trans activism|trans activist]] notion of "trans women are women" is meant literally, it follows that transwomen would be allowed to partake in women's sports.
