Original Note:
The comparison is invalid, due to Thomas having undergone HRT in the interim, resulting in significant body changes including reductions in strength and height. In general, trans athletes do not outperform their peers, making it misleading to highlight exceptional cases. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/lia-thomas-trans-swimmer-ron-desantis-b2091218.html
