Un tema muy profundo. Gracias a la magnífica traducción lo pude entender en español

My question is, if cis people and trans people are equals, why expect trans men to 'work 73%' harder to match cis men, but cis women aren't expected to work harder to match trans women? There are so many different types of bodies in the world regardless of gender, what if we considered dividing sports by weight and height class rather than gender? You are well spoken and intelligent, keep thinking about these issues and don't be afraid to ask yourself the hard questions.
