Leftist media outlet NPR was forced to issue a correction after a tweet claiming there’s little evidence of trans athlete superiority in women’s sports was fact-checked by Twitter’s Community Notes.
In a tweet Sunday regarding the World Athletics Council’s recent announcement banning trans athletes from competing in female sports in the interest of fairness, NPR wrote:
The international governing body for track and field will ban trans women athletes from elite women’s competitions, citing a priority for fairness over inclusion, despite limited scientific research involving elite trans athletes.
Adding a context bubble to NPR’s tweet, Twitter’s community notes fact-check collective noted several readers “added context they thought people to might want to know,” and proceeded to list studies proving “transgender females” outperform biological females.
Multiple studies on trans athletes (including elite athletes) have been conducted which show that they retain higher muscle mass, strength, and running speed than women.
After embarrassingly being called out for their inherent bias, the federally-funded left-wing publication issued a tweet acknowledging testosterone importantly affects trans athlete performance, but then shamelessly doubled down on their previous claims.
Correction: An earlier tweet incorrectly stated there is limited scientific evidence of physical advantage. Existing research shows that higher levels of testosterone do impact athletic performance. But there’s limited research involving elite trans athletes in competition.
Again, Twitter Community Notes added context to NPR’s tweet from a study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine and covered by NBC News that found trans “women” indeed held an athletic advantage over female counterparts.
NPR was brutally mocked on social media for their pathetic attempts to deny trans athlete dominance in female sports.
It's not just about testosterone, @npr. It's about the SRY gene on the Y chromosome organizing a whole evolved suite of adaptive hormonal, gene-regulatory, morphological, & physiological adaptations throughout life that constitute being biologically male.
Stop reducing…

NPR is flaming garbage. What an absolute shame.

@CommunityNotes Once again state-funded media is twisting logic to advance their idiotic narrative that women with prior experience as women aren’t stronger than women without experience. Of course, there are individuals who are weaker or stronger than people of the opposite sex,…

Yes, the only "limited research" we have is the MEDAL PODIUM, where they're winning like crazy. Aside from that though …

There is limited research to show that a team of 65-year-old people, in a rainbow of gender IDs and all under 5'4" in height, would be beaten by the FAU Men's Basketball team. Therefore, we cannot say that the 6'8" tall 20-year-olds would have a physical advantage.

Why don’t we just compare the average winning race times for track, swimming, and speedskating? There’s a lot of data from biologically male and female athletes there that draw a very clear picture.

Wow. I’m not sure what’s worse. Your first horrendously misleading tweet or your “correction” where you justify your original misleading statement on different grounds? If I had the power to, I would ensure none of my tax $$ goes to funding you.

Journalism be damned. Instead of acknowledging an error, you try to put a twist on it so you can keep on message for ideological reasons. Pathetic how far you have fallen from your halcyon days of being a national news organization.

After their monumental gaslighting fail, it’s certainly nice to see the propagandists at NPR receiving the ridicule they deserve.
