The discussions reflect a high level of agreement and interest, with many posts citing scientific studies and emphasizing the genetic and physiological differences between males and females, using technical language to support claims. This tone underscores the importance and impact of the research in debates on gender and sports, demonstrating deep engagement and acknowledgment of its significance.
AgreementStrong agreement
Most posters agree with the scientific findings and emphasize biological differences between sexes.
InterestHigh interest
Discussions show strong engagement and curiosity about the detailed physiological aspects of the research.
EngagementModerate engagement
A few comments challenge the simplicity of the topic, encouraging deeper understanding and discussion.
ImpactHigh impact
The posts highlight that this research has significant implications for gender discussions, sports, and societal perceptions.
Abstract in brief
The text discusses how male and female skeletal muscles differ in gene expression, fiber type composition, myosin heavy chain levels, and contractile functions.
It highlights the roles of hormones like thyroid hormone, estrogen, and testosterone in regulating these sex-based differences.
The review emphasizes that further research is needed to fully understand how these physiological variations between males and females develop and function.]
@Hogshead3Au @BARBARABULL11 @boysvswomen @cbrennansports @Martina @devarona64 Genetics: some 6500 genes are differentially expressed between males and females [19] with an estimated 3000 sex-specific differences in skeletal muscle likely to influence composition and function beyond the effects of androgenisation.

Testosterone is not the only difference between males and females.
That’s a fallacy.
There are differences at the muscle-skeletal level that are genetic.
Plus low testosterone males don’t menstruate. #qanda https://t.co/StMCtAwsd2

Human brains show significant overlap in features associated with males and females, indicating they are not strictly two separate types. Most brains are mosaics, containing a mix of features more common in either…

@davey0303 @PiersUncensored @piersmorgan @TomiLahren @HelenWebberley Cute how you're only replying to yourself, @davey0303. It is cheating - men's and women's muscles have vastly different compositions. Read & learn. https://t.co/XaB0Gd5v7G
@glenn_tami59618 @DC_Draino Well OP, take a few moments and Google: Sex-Based Differences in Skeletal Muscle Kinetics and Fiber-Type Composition. Or to summarize, males generally possess more fast-twitch muscle fiber bundles as well as a longer reach than females.
@jk_rowling Here's the link to the NIH article that discusses the involvement of genes that regulate the expression of proteins that promote or suppress muscle bulk in males and females: Sex-Based Differences in Skeletal Muscle Kinetics and Fiber-Type Composition https://t.co/sMGvVF2XPZ
@msediewyatt That’s one reason. There are countless other physiological anatomical advantages to men we could spend all day discussing the evolutionary basis of… but the facts are they exist- in their millions.
And we can’t change sex. https://t.co/RrOJF6hmj5
@deves_katherine Fast twitch and slow twitch muscle fibre ratio is not a sexed trait.
He does have ENTIRELY different muscles to a woman though, entirely independent of androgen metabolism. https://t.co/2tuEcfigGZ
@jessicobra Downstream and nowhere near “nearly all”.
Sexed development begins at conception. Differentiation is systemic & immutable. Tinkering with hormones at any stage after birth DOES NOTHING TO CHANGE SEX. Most of these differences are not androgen mediated. https://t.co/2tuEcfigGZ

@AusSkeptic @Pdjones1128 It’s true.
But it’s also not really the point. Women aren’t men who are less good at sport.
Humans can’t change sex. Sex is from conception. Trans is stupid.
https://t.co/RrOJF6hmj5
@Vicki_Nunn_2 Yes I’m familiar. Of course sex is more than just testosterone. There are thousands of non-androgen muscle differences between the sexes and prepubescent boys outperform prepubescent girls.

@deves_katherine Even if they didn’t have a testosterone based advantage, they still shouldn’t be in the female category.
There are more physical differences between males and females than androgens.
And you can never change that.

@Grandpa_jenkins @jack_turban Here’s a paper “Sex-Based Differences in Skeletal Muscle Kinetics and Fiber-Type Composition”. This is a complex subject and involves more physiological processes that testosterone & oestrogen. Anyone telling you it’s simple is ignorant or manipulative.
