I guess it depends when you transition, but if a TS woman trains to compete in an athletic competition while taken the standard HRT regimen, she's not going to have any real competitive advantage over CIS women.

But I understand why people feel this way.

For example if I transitioned tomorrow, I'm still going to have bigger and stronger muscles than most CIS women even if I'm taking HRT.

It's tricky deciding what to do with TS athletes competing against other women because there's an assumption they have an unfair competitive advantage in both muscle mass and strength.

There's no real way to quantify it.

It's sounds like one year on HRT for MtF is what they are saying in the article:


Eric Vilain, director of the Center for Gender-based Biology, and chief of medical genetics in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of California Los Angeles, debunks the idea that transgender women who have been on hormone replacement therapy for a significant amount of time retain some sort of advantage over their cisgender counterparts:

"Research suggests that androgen deprivation and cross-sex hormone treatment in male-to-female transsexuals reduces muscle mass; accordingly, one year of hormone therapy is an appropriate transitional time before a male-to-female student athlete competes on a women's team."
