I know less about trans men 's performences in sport so I can't really say.

But on the fly, I would say yes.
So do you believe Lebron James a biological man should be allowed to play in the WNBA, or can he only do so once he goes through the body altering hormonal therapy to lower his physical stats?

If yes, how much of a physical decrease does he need to give himself in order to play in the WNBA, just when he's on par with the top WNBA player or when he meets the average stats of WNBA players as total?
 
a biological man
There is no such thing as biological man. Either you have biological male characteristic or you identify as a man. You are not a "biological man". Man and woman are genders, not sexual characteristics.

Lebron James is not a woman, right ? So your question is not pertinent.

You don't choose to become a man or a woman. Its something that you are because its your identity.

So unless you tell me that lebron is actually a woman going under a therapy (that will actually transform their body) then no, there is no reason.

That's for the game institution to decide.

They might be genders. But it's still badly seen to refer to each other as female or male. People who use these terms are often seen as crazy masculinists.

We don't say male's sport but men's sport. It's the tradition.

Man 1828 Webster dictionary:
- A male individual of the human race, of adult growth or years.
- A male of the human race; used often in compound words, or in the nature of an adjective; as a man-child; men-cooks; men-servants.
- It sometimes bears the sense of a male adult of some uncommon qualifications; particularly, the sense of strength, vigor, bravery, virile powers, or magnanimity, as distinguished from the weakness, timidity or impotence of a boy, or from the narrow mindedness of low bred men.


Oxford english dictionary, Man:
- An adult male human being.


But to accommodate you, I'll ask the question again in the terminology you want everyone to go by.

Should Lebron James who is a biological male, if he decides to identify as a woman, be allowed to play in the WNBA OR should that only be allowed if he chose to go through body altering hormonal therapy?

If yes, to the latter, down to what extent does he need to lower his test, to where he meets the top WNBA player or where he meets the average test of the total wnba players?


The game institution has nothing to do with my hypothetical question to you.
