Thanks for your comment and the great link. I didn’t realize that there was as much as a 30% reduction in physical ability as a result of HRT for MtF’s. The link to that site is terrific, what a great story and an inspiring one as well.

The physical loss in ability is about 30%. I know this from personal experince. Hormone therapy affects mind and emotions more than the physical changes. There is a film about Canadian pro bike racer Michelle Dumaresq which tell the story of her life as a trans woman pro biker racer.
