The Times included the information under a subhead title, \u201cThe Debate Over the Science,\u201d but the section offers little debate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeginning in the womb, men are bathed in testosterone and puberty accelerates that. Men on average have broader shoulders, bigger hands and longer torsos, and greater lung and heart capacity. Muscles are denser,\u201d the Times acknowledged while speaking to Dr. Michael Joyner of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.<\/p>\n<p>Joyner, who \u201cstudies the physiology of male and female athletes,\u201d according to the Times, told the outlet that the testosterone surge men receive during puberty eliminates any advantage women had by growing faster than boys leading up to puberty.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou see the divergence immediately as the testosterone surges into the boys,\u201d Joyner told the Times. \u201cThere are dramatic differences in performances.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Times then confirmed this information by noting that \u201crecords for elite adult male swimmers are on average 10 percent to 12 percent faster than the records of elite female swimmers, an advantage that has held for decades.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The reason is due to the factors listed above: broader shoulders, denser muscles, bigger lung and heart capacity, etc.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are social aspects to sport, but physiology and biology underpin it,\u201d Joyner told the outlet. \u201cTestosterone is the 800-pound gorilla.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Times also pointed out that peer-reviewed studies show that even if men suppress their testosterone for a year, per NCAA rules in order to compete again biological women, they still \u201cretain a substantial edge.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This is proven by the fact that biological men who enter women\u2019s sports substantially increase their rankings. For example, the Times noted that University of Pennsylvania swimmer Lia Thomas, who competed as a biological man for years before identifying as a transgender woman and entering women\u2019s competitions, ranked 32nd in the men\u2019s 1,650-yard freestyle. Once Thomas started competing in women\u2019s competitions, the swimmer ranked 8th\u00a0and even won a race by a whopping 38 seconds. In the men\u2019s 200-yard freestyle, Thomas ranked 554th, but in 2022, competing against women, Thomas placed 5th in the NCAA championship. \u00a0Thomas ranked 65th in the men\u2019s 500-yard freestyle. Competing against women, Thomas won the race.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLia Thomas is the manifestation of the scientific evidence,\u201d Dr. Ross Tucker, a sports physiologist, told the Times. \u201cThe reduction in testosterone did not remove her biological advantage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Further, the Times noted that \u201cmost scientists\u2026 view performance differences between elite male and female athletes as near immutable,\u201d citing Israeli physicist Ira S. Hammerman, who in 2010 found the obvious: women\u2019s world record times are 10% slower than men\u2019s world record times.<\/p>\n<p>Even some transgender athletes acknowledge the unfair advantage, the Times noted. Ren\u00e9e Richards played tennis as a man and ranked 13th in the men\u2019s 35-and-over division before transitioning to a woman in 1975 at the age of 41. At age 43, Richards joined the women\u2019s pro tennis tour and was able to compete in the doubles final at Wimbledon. Richards retired at age 47, ranked 19th in the world. Richards admitted that being a biological male provided the advantage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know if I\u2019d had surgery at the age of 22, and then at 24 went on the tour, no genetic woman in the world would have been able to come close to me,\u201d Richards <a href=\"https:\/\/slate.com\/culture\/2012\/10\/jewish-jocks-and-renee-richards-the-life-of-the-transsexual-tennis-legend.html\">told<\/a> Slate in 2012. \u201cI\u2019ve reconsidered my opinion.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is indisputable that men have a biological advantage over women in sports, and now even The New York Times is admitting that fact.
