I do believe that, yes. I think an average male athlete with an equal amount of training to an elite female athlete will dominate all the females with very few exceptions.

That’s not exactly how biology works, which i think you know. And medically transitioning, from everything I have heard second hand, f######king sucks. So it’s not really in the realm of “let me completely #### my body to place higher in women’s high school badminton.”
Yeah, I don't think anybody is transitioning to get a leg up in sports.
