Does anyone have any knowledge/insight into what effect HRT might have for marathon training/racing for a trans woman?

There are some studies being done around these areas, but from a group I am in, HRT does appear to affect performance detrimentally in terms of slower times/performances. There is a group I am in for Trans runners and the number of people I have seen complaining about losing muscle mass or performance and I just want to ask them if they knew that was going to happen? Surely they must? Meanwhile, testosterone for me hasn't actually done a fat lot... |

I completely agree with Vixx's comment. I can't run anywhere near as fast or as far anymore. I knew that HRT would affect me but didn't realise how much though. I'm ok with it so it doesn't bother me now.

Just wanted to say I'm quite discombobulated to see some of the nasty views I've seen on Twitter end up here on Fetch. I try to be an ally, but I really don't want to wade in on those arguments because of the vitriol that seems to be unleashed so easily. I'm here waving a quiet flag of support. 💖

I think it would be awful for anyone new to fetch to come across that thread

Yes, it's not a particularly welcoming or inclusive thread, that one (and I know I'm guilty of not exactly helping on that front in there). In much more lovely and positive news, Finland have ditched their nasty old laws about gender recognition and moved to self declaration! bloomberg.com |

I tried to avoid posting on there! Obviously I ended up saying something. I'm very glad this thread exists.
