“No one, whether you’re trans or not, wants the federal government digging through your identifiable patient information and figuring out what they like and don’t like,” Hack said. “It’s an absolute overreach, and people are really scared.”
Asked whether Hack’s priorities were measures he could support, Platner agreed. “Yes, indeed. They most certainly do,” he said.

Archers need to generate enough strength to draw back the string and hold it in position for a sufficient amount of time to take aim and release the arrow. The amount of strength required varies depending on the individual and the type of bow being used, but most archers require a combination of strength, power, and control to effectively utilize their equipment.
Some psychologists believe that males dominate in chess because they have superior spatial relationship than women.
I never said you don’t need to be strong. I said women athletes are more than capable of archery. They are. They even currently compete.
The spatial thing is a myth and does not hold up when tested better.
However. Men typically have faster reflexes by like 50 ms. Its not a lot but it’s consistent.
There is something important to note about xy abilities.
Men have a flatter and wider bell curve for pretty much any trait. What this means is that most women ( traits ) score close to the mean compared to men’s. (For a given trait).
You often hear “men have higher iqs”. Well they dont but there are more men who have high iqs than women. But. There are also more men with the lowest iqs. (Though you dont hear people bringing that up)
You get more top athletes. But also more men with incredibly poor physical condition.
Disorders are more prevalent and genetic errors related to that Y, but you also occasionally get a beneficial error.
So it’s a trade off. A gamble. Being male might result in a little genetic bonus. But it’s just as likely you get a handicap.
And this sort of thing is more than likely a product of the sex chromosomes for men being incomplete xx. So they have a greater chance for a non dominant gene on that Y chromosome to be expressed. It’s why men are more prone to color blindness. It’s carried on that chromosome. Women usually have a backup on the extra tail on the X that will overwrite the bad recessive one.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variability_hypothesis
Even if men have higher variability, this is an irrelevant point for their ability to play most sports better than women.
Because there might be more athletic men. But there are comparable athletic women. It just means that it’s more competition for mens teams because more potentials are available.
It doesn’t mean they are better than the female team in ability. Though I acknowledge there are sports that should stay separated. Like track. Basketball.
It’s like. Let’s say 500 people in your city are doctors. Good doctors.
Let’s say 40 people in my city are good doctors.
You can’t say your doctors are better than mine just because you have more of them. They all went to med school and are board certified. The number for a given city is irrelevant.
An athlete will not be in poor health. Healthy men will perform better than healthy women in sports. Consequently, it’s better to separate them.
