Agreed.
However I do think it is very natural for people to trend to activities they feel they are are good, especially when compared to their peers.
I think we see that already, despite Transwomen representing a tiny percent of the populace I would bet their sporting results, are quite disproportionate towards the success side.
Transfemale cyclist, sprinters, MMA'ist all at or near the top of the sport, even though few have ever tried contending.
In CIS sport, you need something like a million males to try before one is good enough to reach the top levels of the sports.
With Transfemales, it seems it may be closer to 1:1.
And in both instances I am adjusting for people who self select to try and make in sport.
And again i do think the enticement of scholarships to University will be significant if it is seen as an easy path to get a free education.
