In the 2018–2019 season Lia was, when competing in the men's team, ranked 554 in the 200 freestyle, 65 in the 500 freestyle, and 32 in the 1650 freestyle. In the 2021–2022 season, those ranks are now, when competing in the women's team, 5 in the 200 freestyle, first in the 500 freestyle, and eight in the 1650 freestyle.
And when Lia went on HRT while she was still competing in the male divisions, she underwent a huge *fall* in the rankings, as I explicitly said in the third paragraph of my original post.
> Now, eventually, there would be an AMAB athlete at the highest levels who decided to transition. The HRT would destroy her upper body strength, because that's one of the many things HRT does, and she would fall far behind her male competitors while she still had to compete with them, and by the time she was allowed to compete against women, she would have a thoroughly mediocre recent record. Then when - if - she ever started competing at the highest level again, the story would be 'man can't hack it, goes to women's league to dominate the poor girls there'.
Right there.
Anyways, your evidence that trans women are pushing cis women out of sports is... one swimmer.
On the exact same amount of evidence, I could say that being named 'Diana Taurasi' is obviously an unfair advantage to being the WNBA scoring leader. And that's nothing compared to how many people whose names start with 'T' are at the top of this chart. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1237068/wnba-scoring-leaders/ Why won't the NCAA crack down on this T-initial crisis?
Thank you for the correction.
That's still a huge leap in rankings.
