FACT: Trans women athletes do not have a physical fitness advantage compared to other women

Community Note

This meta-analysis covers mostly non-athletes, rates evidence low/very low certainty, and omits sport-specific performance. It does not reverse retained male advantages post-puberty. World Rugby evidence review: https://www.world.rugby/the-game/player-welfare/guidelines/transgender

I haven't seen any evidence that Royce White is good at basketball.

This guy rode the bench for his short lived career and then ran off to play at politics. When Anthony Edwards wants to play in the WNBA maybe we'll care. But this is a nobody. He wouldn't qualify regardless.
