THIS is the way to go about it. The fact of the matter is that most trans athletes won't be able to fairly compete in cis single-sex sports. A team specifically for trans people (or mixed/any gender sports/teams) are the way the to go as opposed to pushing cis women athletes out of their sports and stoking hatred for the trans community through the actions of a loud minority.

And before anyone comes at me: cis female athletes exhibiting excess testosterone are required to take medications to bring this down to within standard female levels. There's no reason a trans woman shouldn't be required to exhibit standard cis female parameters (hormones, bones density, skeletal structure) in order to compete when cis women are expected to meet this too.

Long live team trans!!

Reddits lucky to have someone like you summarize this stuff!

You’d get a kick out of KMT2a. The protein is..3700? residues, has a heap of domains, and gets cleaved into two, something like a 320kD and 180kD. The pull-down assays bring down a ton of things where many of the proteins correspond to mutations seen in cancer. Crystal structure was apparently a challenge.
