9 Conclusion There is no firm basis available in evidence to indicate that trans women have a consistent and measurable overall performance benefit after 12 months of testosterone suppression. While an advantage in terms of Lean Body Mass (LBM), Cross Section Area (CSA) and strength may persist statistically after 12 months, there is no evidence that this translates to any performance advantage as compared to elite cis-women athletes of similar size and height

They're resorting to saying "trans women are stronger than their competitors, but how do we even know that being stronger is advantageous in sport???"

You need to work on your reading comprehension. XD

Do you think that an advantage in terms of strength translates to any performance advantage?

I think that "maybe" having an advantage in terms of strength is an admission that the research is incomplete.

The document is full of admissions that the research is incomplete.

Hence, my comment to Sentau's question about the research.
