* “Any athletic advantages a transgender girl or woman arguably may have as a result of her prior testosterone levels **dissipate after about one year** of estrogen therapy”
* “According to medical experts on this issue, the assumption that a transgender girl or woman competing on a women’s team would have a competitive advantage outside the range of performance and competitive advantage or disadvantage that already exists among female athletes is **not supported by evidence**.”

* Study that notes how all earlier studies **did not check** trans women who have been prescribed testosterone blockers which is now a **common practice;** indicates that the results of such studies cannot be used as proof that trans women have an advantage
* _“The athletic advantage transgender athletes are perceived to have appears to have been **overinterpreted by many sport organisations** around the world, which has had a **negative effect** on the experiences of this population.”_
