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?

    I’d even go further and confidently call it causal. This is very much a thing that happens soon after ( < 1 year but mileage varies) you start gender affirming hormone therapy, at any age. nobody’s fully sure on the exact causes, but the one most certain thing is that it’s a multitude of factors - potentially, but also not limited to, the blend of tightness/looseness of ligaments and tendons that hold your pelvis neutral, the muscle mass and strength of muscles involved in posture, the amount of fat/weight your pelvis has to carry, and for trans people lucky enough to start gender affirming hormone therapy during puberty, the actual bone shape of your pelvis (although this last one shouldn’t be too overstated - again, transfems transitioning well into their 50s and 60s notice changes in gait, balance, and posture).
