Like, did your actual center of gravity or muscular attributes change over time to make you pass or fail where previously you had the other outcome of one of these alleged “men can’t do this but women can” type challenges?
Idk but my center of gravity changes after taco bell
It seems these challenges are more about technique than biology https://www.vice.com/en/article/qjp5gd/this-is-why-men-cant-seem-to-ace-the-viral-tiktok-centre-of-gravity-challenge
yeahhh the video example in this article clearly shows the woman pull back before going to her knees, whereas the man just pulls his arms up from a pushup position.
idk, i feel gender has nothing to do with this. I had a good sense of balance before I transitioned.
That’s not what it says? There is a little bit of speculation about technique, with no evidence. But most of it is about differences in centre of gravity. Which is a biological (average) difference and suggests that trans people might indeed reverse their ability to do/not do these challenges after gender-affirming hormones.
It’d be very easy to test the various theories offered. Fuck knows why Vice didn’t instead of just quoting speculation.
An interesting question. I would assume no change, center of gravity is set based on birth gender. Hormones or psychological changes later in life won’t change it.
Leaving aside for a moment that it’s not quite clear that these challenges are a result of AGAB physiology, centre of gravity changes with body fat changes, which changes with HRT.

There are bazillions of papers about physiological changes due to hormones. You don’t need a demonstration, you need to develop enough intellectual curiosity to research things that don’t exist solely inside your own head.
