Is it transphobic to trust the science?
Here is what we know with great certainty. No amount of hormonal suppression or enhancement can change the DNA with which we are born. If you are born as a man or a woman no amount of tinkering with hormones, dressing up or cosmetic manipulation will change your DNA.
A lie on a birth certificate, on a name change, or in the imagination cannot change the DNA.
Lia Thomas was not ever a woman, and will never be a woman, in this life or the next.
What else do we know?
CBN says “peer-reviewed studies have confirmed that even with this treatment, athletes with biologically male DNA and physiology still have an unfair advantage when competing against biological women.”
2022 guidelines indicate that males have between 300 and 1000 nanograms of testosterone per deciliter, and the actual amount varies due to stress, time of day, body weight and another half dozen factors. What is also known is that even with the administering of testosterone suppressants, the levels will still be more than twice that of a woman. Sorry Lia, the fact that you matched Riley’s record is not proof that you are a woman or a great athlete, it is only proof that Riley is an All-American athlete, and a class act.
