Alaskan boy participates in the girls state championship

Comparing male body builders to female body builders I would intuitive guess males have more fast twitch muscles. However, I can't definitively state males have an increased percentage of fast twitch fibers, an increased absolute number of fast twitch fibers, or the difference is a result of increased muscular hypertrophy. Hormone replacement therapy will definitely affect that. Google J.K. Simmons. At 61 years of age that dude is on testosterone replacement therapy, HGH, or both.

I don't understand the neuro aspect of your question.

Thanks !
I am completely ignorant of any neuro aspect.
I thought I'd throw that in to save my lazy butt from googling.

So (of course), regarding the topic at hand.....
With a M to F hormone transition, would it change the fast-twitch muscles that were already formed ?

I'm sure if the therapy were started before puberty, there would be less difference in the matter.

I appreciate your input.
