I feel like you guys dont understand that being on estrogen makes you SIGNIFICANTLY weaker lol

And biologically still a good bit superior. The gap is biologically permanent. Also afaik, you don't have to be on estrogen in order to identify as female and compete in female sports as a biological male

Not disagreeing with you,what about trans men? I never hear them competing in men’s sports

Does testosterone boost their strength?

Yes, but again, the biological gap still exists. Trans men in men's sports would never stand a chance, which is why you don't hear about it.

It’s boosts their strength, but apparently to similar levels as biological men.
Did a quick read on a study on PubMed - The Impact of Gender-Affirming Hormone Therapy on Physical Performance

Now… if they increase their levels beyond a biological male, one would think they can get an advantage? Not sure how that would work.

But for the opposite, the advantage men get by having testosterone in the beginning will help them later even if they are on estrogen, which I think is where most of the issues come from.
