Hilton has long been a leading voice on the issue, including during the emergence of the University of Pennsylvania\u2019s <strong>Lia Thomas<\/strong> during the NCAA season. Thomas, following three years racing for the Penn men\u2019s squad, concluded her college career by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/ncaa-title-for-lia-thomas-is-joke-with-biological-women-as-punchline-hardly-a-laughing-matter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">winning an NCAA title in the 500-yard freestyle<\/a> while racing against biological females.<\/p>\n<p>The article written by Hilton and Handelsman is titled, \u201cWhat Science Tells Us About Transgender Women Athletes,\u201d and includes several points which highlight why trans women hold advantages over biological females. Hilton and Handelsman note that the search for fairness in sports and desire for inclusion naturally conflict.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMen are, on average, bigger, faster, stronger and have greater endurance than women,\u201d Hilton and Handelsman wrote. \u201cWhile there is overlap between men and women, at the elite sporting levels the differences are stark. These physical advantages are caused by the dramatic surge in testosterone \u2014 a rapid 20-30-fold rise over unchanged female levels \u2014 during male puberty. Cumulative effects of male testosterone exposure over years produce a lasting uplift of larger and stronger muscles and bones, higher capacity cardiovascular systems and a higher hemoglobin level.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In their article, Hilton and Handelsman cite statistical data which support their arguments, notably the percent difference in the performances and records of males and females. Hilton and Handelsman also emphasize the point that female athletes should not be marginalized and forced to forfeit their long-fought place in the sporting world.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn individual sports such as athletics and swimming, world records and winning Olympic performances show men have a 10-20 percent advantage over women, with even higher advantages in certain sporting skills (pitching, fast bowling, punching, yanking, pulling) of 50 percent to over 100 percent,\u201d the authors noted. \u201cThis explains why female world records are surpassed by thousands of males, including by boys aged 14-15 years old in early to mid-puberty.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cImportantly, female athletes should not be forced to assume the burden of competing against unfair male physical advantages in the name of inclusion. This would risk creating another generation of female athletes with lifelong career loss and personal grievances resembling a very different form of unfair disadvantage such as when Australian and other sportswomen faced doped East German athletes in the 1980s.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Here is the <a
