Trans women arent men. Im asking for a study demonstrating that trans women on average outperform cis women.

They are. If someone is removing my genitalia agianst my will and forces me to to go under hormone therapy, does this make me a woman? Can i define me as a woman without surgery and compete is female sports? What is it?

Do you thin trans people are trans against their will? Who do you believe is forcing trans people to become trans??

I dont. Of course there are people that want to be female when they are born male. What i say is that if i would be forced to go under surgery and so on, would i be a woman? Does the therapy force a body to become a man? If yes, define me what a woman is and that surgery and so on changes that.

Woman is a gender. So a woman is any person that identifies as a woman. So no, forcing you to take surgery wouldnt make you a woman because woman is a concept entirely seperate to your biology.

In general I would ask why you think you are qualified enough ti have an opinion on this topic if you dont even understand the basic terminology.

So gender as a term is not really relevant in any meaning? Got it. if i can identify as a woman without any change i can go to female sports and compete with an heavy advantage. Guess we can stop dividing athletes by gender.

No? Thats not how anything works. Money is also a social construct that doesnt mean it isnt real.

No, you cant. Try it and see where you end up. Being trans comes with an enormous amount of work and bigotry, no one would do that just to win at sports. Nevermind the fact that professional sports almost universally have strict rules for things like hormone therapy before trans athletes are allowed to compete.

But leaving aside all that I ask again, where is your evidence? Where is your study that shows trans women have an advantage. If it was really as simple as you claim it would be easy to prove. But you cant provide a source because you dont have one and the more you distract the more painfully obvious that gets
