I’m sorry you feel I’m being reductive, but that’s honestly how this is coming off. I’m not denying socialogical differences, and of course different lives lead to different outcomes - I am cautioning against painting every AMAB person with that brush as a way of excluding all of them from participation. Again, I’m asking you to be careful cos this is getting close to saying there are just unsolvable differences that can never be overcome, but ONLY when it comes to trans people.
We have data. The Olympics have been open to trans athletes for decades and trans women have simply not dominated. They’ve done disproportionately badly, actually. A trans swimmer won one (1) non-Olympic race last year and it caused a major media shitstorm, and that should be proof enough that it’s a rare occurrence.
Also just be careful with the “socialization” shit. And be careful assuming our experiences. Like re: the other part of this thread, I faced significant sexual harassment as an egg throughout high school. Because people might not have known my specific deal and god knows I didn’t, but people could tell something was going on with me. This is a common experience for eggs. There is no one “male socialization” for a number of reasons, but even within that wide range I really don’t feel I got it.
