1. Would you expect to see this in an elite female athlete if she transitioned? If not, why not?

2. There are differing levels of elite. As a male athlete, Lia never placed higher than second, never held a single record, and often failed to even make it to the finals of events. After transition, Lia wins races by enormous margins, boasts that doing so was "so easy" and routinely breaks records.

I know you understand this. I suspect you'll just dodge these questions as you have pretty much every other question I've asked. I see no point in continuing this conversation if you're not going to be even a little bit intellectually honest.

But my real question is, why are you so determined to avoid or ignore these facts? Like, why have a conversation at all when you're determined to play dumb about obvious things? Read the article. I'm not anti-trans. I'm not trying to exclude trans people from sport or prevent them from competing with the gender they identify as. This is simply about recognising simple and self-evident biological facts. Is it really impossible in your mind to support trans people and also be honest?
