The video you linked to did go over how testosterone suression made males weaker while still being syronger than cis females but it did not demonstrate trans females to have an advantage in most sports.

Here is a study for trans females who underwent SRS

1) I provided 7 sources, and you complain about one. I don't think you looked at any of the others.

2) LOL with your habit of calling trans-identified males "trans females." These guys aren't females!

3) The study you provided compared 23 males who had "sex reassignment surgery" (whatever that means; it's not detailed) to 46 males of the same age and height who haven't had such surgeries.

Twenty-three M-->F transsexual persons, recruited from our gender dysphoria clinic and at least 3 yrs after sex reassignment surgery, together with 46 healthy age- and height-matched control men were included in this cross-sectional study.

4) The study found that males who had "sex reassignment surgery" (whatever that means) have lower muscle mass and higher fat than the males who didn't. However, the differences are not quantified.

5) Nobody is doubting that trans-identified males who surgically alter their anatomy and take drugs to alter their biochemistry and suppress testosterone often lose some muscle and gain some fat as a result, and thus are a bit weaker and softer than other males of their size and age, and compared to how they were previously. What all the experts are saying is that these changes are relatively small - and even after such changes, males who ID as trans still have HUGE advantages in sports over females.

6) Males who alter their bodies to make them weaker and flabbier than other males and to how they themselves were previously are just altered, flabbier, weaker males. They're not females! Not even close.

None of the studies linked looked at actual sport performance
