“No one, whether you’re trans or not, wants the federal government digging through your identifiable patient information and figuring out what they like and don’t like,” Hack said. “It’s an absolute overreach, and people are really scared.”

Asked whether Hack’s priorities were measures he could support, Platner agreed. “Yes, indeed. They most certainly do,” he said.

    The article specifically listed the reasons which give males an advantage in sports. Explain how these would disappear in trans men.

      I’m not qualified to answer that, and neither are you, but I don’t give a shit because it’s a goalpost shift… IOC is looking at one study, while studies that analyze multiple studies indicate there isn’t enough data, but what data there is points to there not being an advantage. I’m also curious as to whether they mean trans women or trans women and cis men when they say, “biological men,” have an advantage, but it’s neither here nor there because A) you’re still cherry picking the data that conforms to your worldview and B) you’ve very clearly conceded the initial argument that the government should be in charge of this. Anyway, you done yet, or do you still want to be wrong at ne a little longer?

        The IOC made their decision based on the data. I don’t see how those biological differences can be disputed.
