Like I said, I’ve never seen a denial of science from trans people. I’ve ready many journals and studies, and they all seem to support the understanding that transitioning changes our physical abilities. Trans women often score around the same, sometimes higher, sometimes lower with other cis women in a range of variables - but overall comparable. We certainly need more studies into things such as timelines for HRT changes as studies cut-off after 3 years, or the effects of Progesterone - but the science of the sports debate is much clearer.
As for the puberty blocker/bone density thing he easy solution is to allow children to access HRT and go through the correct puberty. Puberty blockers largely exist as a political compromise with cis people over the ownership of our bodies.
Also them.us (pinknews, and one other that escape me) are considered to be a bit transphobic out of most queer media.
