Since they have female hormones, they have female muscles. Seems fair. I'd guess they often have more bulk and longer bones than natal females, and less flexibility, so advantage or disadvantage, I don't know.

I haven't knowingly sparred against a transperson in martial arts tournaments, but have gladly fought exhibition bouts against men when there aren't female opponents in my class. It's fine with me. Easier than some 200+ pound females I've fought (I'm 5'1 140)

In golf, being taller and longer-boned with the ability to use longer clubs might be a small advantage, but I'd still expect experience and skill to prevail.


except men can hit the ball far farther. that is why the womens tee is closer to the hole
