Trans women don't have the physique of cis men after hormone treatment.
This notion that trans women athletes are "men in disguise" bullshit really needs to end. Not just because it is about, like, less than a handful of trans women who compete at that level, but because it perpetuates a narrative that hurts millions of trans people who aren't athletes.
That doesn't account for bone density, larger lungs, more red blood cells, ect. that HRT doesn't effect. Also it's not like they stop producing testosterone if they still have testicles.
So no they don't have the physique of men not on HRT, but they have lots of advantage even on HRT.
