NYT science reporter flunks on the science of transgender athletics

As biological male Lia Thomas continues to dominate women’s swimming, the New York Times’s “science reporter” has jumped into the debate around transgender athletes. As is typical in legacy media, she missed every relevant point about biological differences and advantages.

Azeen Ghorayshi writes that sports organizations have “leaned on medical tests — whether anatomical, chromosomal or hormonal — to determine eligibility in women’s categories, while requiring no analogous tests for men.” On Twitter, Ghorayshi shared the piece while noting that all the complaints against female athletes have had one thing in common — “They were winning.”
