    I suspect that this study should be repeated on the athlete subpopulations, because I imagine many trans women are actively trying to not be muscular in order to aid transitioning, which is a different goal from those participating in athletics.

      How do you try “not to be muscular”? Either your T is below a certain level or it isn’t, which can and is measured as part of any transition and HRT Regimen

        I figured not working out results in less muscle mass, and as an athlete you’d typically want to work out.
