Thank you. Certainly sounds like more research needs to take place, but this is awesome and will hopefully encourage more studies.

I also thought it was interesting that discrepancies between trans and cisgender women in strength could be attributed to trans women being forced to use men's training facilities, equipment and resources, which get more funding and are better equipped. It's amazing what you learn when you control certain variables.
