Can't believe you're being downvoted a lot. Any trans woman person on medication for long enough will just simply not have the muscle mass they had before. It's basic science.
I mean if people were really that concerned, which I imagine they aren't and just want to discriminate, you could just ensure they took medication for several years above a certain amount using blood tests. Not sure if they do currently, but they should probably do that for testosterone too.
Then it gets even weirder because sports aren't defined by gender anymore but by hormones, but maybe that actually makes more sense? As that affects what muscle you can build?
That doesn't surprise me (though I can't actually see any downvotes on kbin which I should, not that I don't believe you, it's just odd), people get so defensive of "muh gender" as if other people being trans is somehow an attack on their cis identity (an attack they're making up of course, it's projection). Reality has never mattered to them, they just want to punch down at someone to feel big.
If only they'd focus that energy on the people selling them these lies to distract them from the real threats society faces..
But that's why divide and conquer is so effective - keep people low and powerless, then give them someone even more powerless to take their aggression out on, distraction achieved!
