It’s a tough one because it’s being weaponised by transphobes.

It isn’t a case of a ‘bloke’ identifying as female as it is being presented by some. Having done a bit of basic googling (as I see you have) I now understand the biological implications, but as a post-graduate biologist, I find it hard to see the advantage she has. I go back to my point that there is no weight advantage and it’s impossible to say if she benefitted from high testosterone as a youth. No one seemed to bother when she was getting beaten.
