Transitioning isn't going to overcome physical height advantages. Why you picked basketball is interesting b/c I don't think any transgender athletes have attempted basketball.
However, in the sport Scott decided to pick, being born a man has not allowed any competitive advantage to Lia Thomas b/c the most she accomplished was 1-win that wasn't record breaking. So, her situation the right-wing media made a frenzy over didn't actually mean much to their argument that biological men will beat up on women.
She was ranked
44th amongst
female swimmers in the US in 2022 despite born a male.

Despite winning the 2022 500-yard freestyle that burst her into stardom, Thomas broke
no records. Kate Douglass on the other hand, who was ranked
2nd in 2022, broke
18 NCAA records that year. Kate would go on to be ranked #1 the following season & #6 this season.

If she's got such a big advantage, why did she get beat easily by other women in the sport? Why wasn't
she smashing records left & right?
Well, because referring back to what I said:
Quit buying into Conservative culture war nonsense. You're clearly not actually looking into this topic which makes it incredibly easy to disprove your vague & blunt responses.
