But gunpla you think this particular person is ok to compete in womens league? I mean look at her Brolying the Muslim women

idk I think it has to be on a case by case basis

Some women are larger than other women, should we ban 7'+ basketball players? Actually, iirc it's statistically verified that athletes that tall can't even cross the court as fast as their 6'-6'6 foot tall counterparts, they just have a really good advantage when it comes to slam dunks, as well as shots and passes from further distances.

its not like her only advantage here is her height

bone structure, muscle mass, etc all play a role

also I dont really see what the speed of 7 foot tall basketball players has to do with this whatsoever

Bone structure

So did you know there's two specialized fields of anthropology that focus on bone structure. It's actually because of this that we can find a skeleton buried under a house and determine that it was an elderly Asian woman, and from that we can then go on and try figuring out who she was. There's structural differences between Asian women and north African women and even between North African women and South African (region, not the country) women.

Same with bone density. Plus when you factor in dietary aspects (poorer families will have worse bones than a person who had access to all their essential dietary needs growing up), genetics (see preceding paragraph) and general fitness (a person who exercises will generally have healthier bones than somebody who doesn't, it isn't just muscle atrophy that can result from inactivity)... Oh, and for what it's worth, trans women actually suffer from osteoporosis rates HIGHER than postmenopausal cis women, and starting at a younger age (keep in mind trans women take estrogen for life so it isn't as a result of the lack of hormones like what generally causes postmenopausal women to become afflicted with it).

And I brought up basketball players because height is an advantage in it TO A DEGREE. And hey, height is a direct result of bone structure and density, something I knew you'd bring up.
