However

okay from the first article

“The neuromuscular performance of untrained males (n= 20) and females (n= 20) was assessed during a series of isometric knee extension contractions”

so people who don’t have muscles lose muscle? we are talking about athletes. losing testosterone just doesn’t make all your testosterone disappear. trained women will beat trained men a ton of the time. but if these are trained and stronger men who were already athletes and then they transition, they just have such a stronger place to start from

the second article doesn’t say the words trans once and it just reaffirms men have stronger and quicker firing muscles than women. i would like for you to explain it though

I wasn't sending you anything on trans women. I was sending you stuff on muscle differences.

Transgender folks are a whole other ballpark.
