Or you're saying cis men would go through years of transition, crippling dysphoria from transitioning into the wrong gender, the social ostracization that comes from being transgender in general and a trans athlete in specific, all to... get a potential, marginal advantage? That's a fantasy.

Either way, I don't get your point

The amount of emotions you superimpose over the discussion doesn't change the fact that it is a highly repeatable avenue to gain an advantage. Unlike the genetic markers you have mentioned.

There are athletes that forgo companionship, marriage, having children, etc. to improve in their sport. It is not uncommon for people to withstand tremendous sacrifice to reach their goals.

We have entered the subjectivity debate, which I am not interested in having. This was an interesting conversation nonetheless.
