The Concerned Women for America are reporting that transgender women athletes have supposedly "stolen" 2,293 medals from cisgender women since the mid-1980s!!! OMG OMG OMG!!! There's a bigoted fake study from the above "Concerned Women" in heavy rotation. This study and the database that supposedly supports it is about as objective as the Tobacco Institute concluding that smoking three packs a day is actually great for your lungs. It relies entirely on data from an anti-trans tracking website called "He Cheated". Because nothing screams "peer-reviewed scientific objectivity" quite like a database that sounds like an episode of The Real Housewives. Honestly, how obnoxious can you get? Let’s do the ACTUAL RESEARCH and tear this bigoted little house of cards apart, shall we? First, about that terrifying number: 2,293 medals over roughly FORTY YEARS. If you do the math—which CWA clearly hopes you won't—that averages out to about 57 medals a year across the entire United States, split among dozens of sports. To put that into perspective, consider the sheer mathematical scale of American women's athletics. There are roughly 24,000 high schools in the U.S. running millions of girls' varsity events every single year. On top of that, over 240,000 women compete in college athletics across all NCAA divisions, producing hundreds of thousands of match opportunities annually. Then add the massive world of extracurricular athletics—tens of thousands of adult recreational leagues, amateur club circuits, community tournaments, and youth sports associations playing every single week. Over a 40-year span, American girls and women have competed in an estimated 250 million sporting matchups, awarding hundreds of millions of medals across high school, collegiate, amateur, and professional levels. The fact that this anti-trans group has spent four decades aggressively hunting for trans athletes and could only scrape together 2,293 medals means they are looking at a microscopic 0.0002% of all women's sports awards. THEY’RE LITERALLY COUNTING LOCAL TUESDAY NIGHT COMMUNITY CENTER VOLLEYBALL TOURNAMENTS, OVER FOUR DECADES, TO FABRICATE A GLOBAL SPORTS COUP! At this rate, a cisgender athlete has a higher statistical probability of simultaneously being struck by lightning and winning the lottery than losing a local 5k to a trans woman. If this is a "tsunami" of dominance, it's operating at the speed of a dripping faucet. The tracking group's name, "He Cheated," tells you everything you need to know about their scientific objectivity. Their methodology relies on unverified, anonymous internet reporting rather than official sports federations. They aren't tracking dominance; they are tracking basic participation and treating every single trans person who finishes a race as an undercover Marvel superhero. This super-hyped, completely invented moral panic ignores the actual reality of trans women in women’s sports. Which is the following... 1-
