Cyclist rebukes critics who say trans athletes unfairly beat her in amateur race

SFC (Verify To See) - Transgender is an umbrella term that covers multiple identities from cross dressers to non binary, AGender another umbrella term, bigender, Demigirl,Demiboy, multi gender, gender fluid, gender queer and ... Simply put it is a spectrum with cis males on one end and cis females on the other end and the rest somewhere in between. I understand it can be confusing. What I consider the big difference is that folks like myself will socially, medically and legally transition whereas the others don't experience that drive to be whole. They don't experience the crap we go through on a daily basis. It's also note worth to mention that unless the other variations actually out themselves no one will ever know. Whereas folks like myself after securing the gender marker change and name change have to take court orders to everyone we do business with such as SS, DMV, Utility Companies, Banks, Credit Card issuers, anyplace we have a membership, schools and on and on and one. All of these people now know we transitioned from MtF or FtM. The cost of becoming whole is everybody knows. Oh we can't forget the Name Change order sitting in the local court house that is a public record.

There are differences between trans and cis women. Lung volumes , cardiac output hemoglobin levels etc.

LTC David Brown First off your view of women is a stereotype. Now you increase lung and cardiovascular capacity through exercise and red blood counts by living at altitude like I do. Of course there are genetics involved and they are different from one person to the next regard even from a child to the next in a family. Your statement is simply utter BS and frankly I expect more from someone who has reached the rank of LTC but I guess I'm wrong on that count.
