What elements of men make them better athletes than women (in most cases)? Is it the testosterone? The bone structure? The muscle ratio?


Puberty plays an enormous role. But yeah, muscle, testosterone.


So, when someone transitions from MtF do they lose that muscle tone and testosterone level that would give that person the advantage?

With proper hormone levels being maintained, it'll be 6-12 months before muscle atrophy becomes severe. For those who transitioned young and had puberty blocked for their default hormones, it'll never even be a thing.

Bone structure is bs though, as trans women actually have higher risks for osteoporosis and those sorts of bone diseases.

Atrophy onset comes later for athletes than for average folk.

The 6-12 mark is for all who actually maintain their hormone regiment. Most have it happen earlier but those who have more muscles would be toward the latter period. I'm inclined to say that she isn't struggling with affording her meds so they wouldn't have issues. Even with unnaturally high levels of t (like say, 900), it takes not even 2 months to get it back to levels below that of cis women during their menses (which is when their t spikes higher).
