First of all, that doesn't come to a different conclusion...

"While it is true that certain morphological changes that occur during puberty may be irreversible, trans individuals on gender affirming hormone therapy clearly do not retain the same physiologic parameters as their pre-transition counterparts. It is unclear to what extent, or for how long, any hormone mediated advantages may persist once a trans individual begins regular gender affirming hormone therapy."
All that's saying is *some* of the advantages could be mitigated, but to what extent is unknown.
I'm sure that's true, but it doesn't dispute anything from the study I linked to, or anything I've asserted. In fact, it affirms the fact that some advantages cannot be reversed.
Second, terms like "gender affirming" hormone therapy... that's non-neutral language that's largely discrediting. The article feels like it was written by a leftwing activist.
Third, "Frontiers in Sports and Active Living"... not exactly a respected publication. Looks like it's been around for all of 5 years, and the contributor for this "study" is one guy from the "Department of Exercise Sciences and Recreation at Lehman College" lol
Nice try, though.
