It depends on the duration of hormone therapy. Women that naturally have higher than average levels of testosterone also have a clear advantage over women (whose levels are at the normal range), to the extent that this rare population is heavily represented in professional sports.
Yeah, let’s go with that. As research on trans people and other knowledge becomes more widespread, so do these terms, thanks to the work of people like Natalie Wynn.

The combination of chromosomes one is born with is biology. The self identification as transsexual is chemical and/or phycological.
That’s alright. I don’t necessarily see a difference between the chromosomes one is born with and the neural network an individual acquires in the womb and in life. It’s all biology, to me.

Thanks to the efforts of the tribe, their preferred slang is being repeated by normal people.* 
Sure. I wouldn’t hold it against the “tribe” for their ideas and lingo spreading, given the proliferation of anti-LGBT slurs and ideas.

Maybe you can answer this question for me then. If gender is a social construct as asserted by many liberals and academics, how is it possible for someone to be “born that way”? How did biology and DNA figure out what our social constructs were?

“anti-LGBT slurs and ideas” are entirely dependent on which snowflake got triggered that morning. They are hate groups.
Let me know when transgenders stop dominating and are as likely to lose as to win. Then you know there is no advantage.
Gender constructs are demonstrated by baby apes, who, when divided by sex, prefer toy trucks or dolls (or something of that nature). Humans are the same way; thus, if Billy is far more interested in dolls and dresses, and Sally prefers trucks and whatnot, there may be a higher chance that their gender identity and their sex are not congruent, hence ‘trans’ rather than ‘cis’.
Higher ideas are less related to hard biology: should women be topless in public, what is the role of a man in society, class systems etc. There is a feedback mechanism between mass ideas and the individual, but they are collective in origin, rather than individual as with the case of Billy and Sally.

Couldn’t find an answer to my question in there. Trucks and dolls are not innately male or female. That they are associated with sex or gender if you prefer, is a human or sociological construct. You can’t be claiming there is some genetic or biological innate preference for trucks over dolls on a purely biological basis.

When research is completed and standards are clearly established, we’ll have a better idea of how to approach this subject. Until that data can be presented along an aggregate, I’m not going to make a determination based on hand picked cases.

Can you provide some data/links where transgender males lose in physically competitive sports to normal females?
All I can find are people with Y chromosomes beating the ■■■■ out women and/or their sports records.
These preferences are innate, as established by the studies on, if I recall, chimpanzees. Animals, humans included, use play as a self teaching mechanism that accompanies natural instinct.
Many of our activities are hardwired, such as tool making and the use of tools in humans.

Impossible, you can’t me to believe we somehow evolved with a genetic predisposition to items that didn’t exist during our evolutionary period. What forces led to greater breeding success for males who liked trucks before trucks existed,
I can take a look in my files to see if I have anything saved. There’s a lot to parse through, but I will link you to it if and when I find it.

I think you’re focusing too much on the items as discrete objects which are hardwired, rather than what makes those objects interesting to different genders in the first place (which is hardwired).
Hate to tell you but trans men are not woman.
You can call a cat and dog but sorry a cat is never going to be a dog.
Trans men will never be woman. All they just men pretending to be woman.
I grew up during the years when there no woman’s sports teams in schools. Now you want to go back to woman being shoved in the corner so all you man and reap all the rewards.
Trans men don’t give a crap about the woman they are hurting. They could care less. This is all about them.
The hell with woman. That’s what your saying. We’ll give them a little token team way down on the list and pat them on the head and say look we included you but too bad those trans men are more special than you are get in the back of the bus and just be grateful were taking you along for the ride.
