Umm, yes, we knew this

 

This Daily Mail article undertakes to explain why transgender women -- which means people that were born as biological males and who have experienced the maturing benefits of puberty -- have an advantage in most sporting competitions where strength and speed are involved.

But most of what they say is quite obvious.

The NIH-published study that exposes the gulf between trans athletes and women in sports: Male-to-female transitioners are faster, stronger and fitter than most women even AFTER taking hormone drugs

"Findings showed trans women had greater muscle mass and bone density, which aid strength, power and durability, plus bigger lungs and higher oxygen levels, which help with endurance, as well as increased connections in the brain responsible for spatial awareness, which could help with agility."

OK, I wasn't aware of the brain connection advantage.

The diagram helps explain what many of us already knew. But it bears repeating for those in the sporting world who think this is an issue of inclusion and not one of fairness.
