Detecting androgenzation when it is relevant

 By Mathew Goldstein


animated video on how sex screening in sports would work to protect female competition. This is what should happen for all “serious” adult sports competition contexts. It is a simple, irrefutable, fact that people gain physical advantages as a result of androgenization (male puberty) relative to people who have not undergone androgenization and this difference has a significant degree of relevance for many sports competition contexts. Acknowledging that trans-women as a group are not in all respects the same as women who are not trans and that trans-men are not collectively in all respects the same as men who are not trans does not sanction invidious discrimination against trans people nor endorse any false, negative over-generalizations regarding trans people.
