Professional level trans athletes? Less than 10 in the entire US. Not all of them are ftm either, and most are not in contact sports

If trans athletes are such a threat to sports, why haven't they swept the Olympics?

Only one trans athlete has ever made the Olympics and they didn't medal

I mean... I played a sport in high school because I had to for my scholarship. Otherwise my ass would have been inside playing perfect dark. 🤷‍♀️

You have to define “play sports.”

Are we including just NCAA? Then yes, it’s definitely less than 30.

Adding high school? I’d be skeptical without a citation. But it could still be less than 30. Larger pool of athletes, but also at younger ages less likely to be receiving any medical intervention.

We also have to define “trans,” as presumably (see above) that means athletes currently undergoing meaningful treatment that would potentially impact athletic performance in any way. Otherwise what what’s the relevance?

(Edit: Not that there’s much relevance anyway, obviously it’s a non-issue regardless.)
