Given a long enough time on the right hormones, and most (not all) of that advantage disappears. "While absolute lean mass remains higher in trans women, relative percentage lean mass and fat mass (and muscle strength corrected for lean mass), hemoglobin, and VO2 peak corrected for weight was no different to cisgender women. After 2 years of GAHT, no advantage was observed for physical performance measured by running time or in trans women. By 4 years, there was no advantage in sit-ups. While push-up performance declined in trans women, a statistical advantage remained relative to cisgender women."

There's also a large band of ability within people. Michael Phelps has a genetic advantage, but his accomplishments are still celebrated.

It's rare that I see someone type a comment that mentions everything I want to say. You rock!

Here is my question though, and if you have any info I'd love to see it. Do performance enhancing drugs interact in men and women the same way? I ask since not all enhancing drugs are banned.

If yes, how do these interact with tans people? Would a trans woman be able to get more positive effects from the drugs?
