Interesting re Anaya Bangar.

But it’s not specifically her hormonal levels that are “in line with other women”.

Rather, it is measured …”power, strength, stamina, muscle mass, oxygen levels and lung capacity…” which now “…all fit within the cisgender female range” _when complying with the required the hormone therapy_.

The argument against trans women competing against against cis women has been the retention of physiological advantages of male puberty. The MMU study appears to challenge the existence of this advantage (and hence the validity of the ban on trans women).

That's a much better description of it honestly, and I'm glad you commented about it. I was short on space and couldn't add all that, and might've described it poorly.
