FYI: Rhys has changed his name again: he's now Veronica Ivy.

Here's the video of Rhys on CNN. Love the way the dolt who's hosting explains "cis-gender." Although I doubt that the host is buying Genderology so kudos to the host for keeping a straight face while interviewing Her Thighness.

What was he talking about that "now we've studied testosterone we've found that there is no competitive advantage evident whatsoever in the amount of endogenous testosterone"? Is he just straight-up bullshitting? Or is there actually such a study?

His PhD thesis was a defense of bullshitting: Reasonable Assertions: On Norms of Assertion and Why You Don't Need to Know What You're Talking About is the title.

He should look at bone and muscle density too. Genetically, males are built more solid.

Think he is referencing this graph ^ which is pretty weak evidence re: 'women have equivalent testosterone'. A handful of women test higher n T scores while the majority are all 0-4 nmol. But hey I guess a few outliers are enough to invalidate the majority #translogic

On that Twitter thread he says:

In fact, there is no clear biological list of features that allow us to even remotely cleanly separate men from women.

He's a professional pathological liar

100 He is a pudgy out of shape man competing with extremely fit women and still manages to win.
