Trans "women" athletes have advantages over cis women

The question becomes, if we are to let people who are born male compete against women, is there any point in even having a separate women's sports category?

I'm all for integrated leagues. I don't mind disabled, biologically or technologically enhanced, male, female, hermaproditic and furries all playing for the same award. Great equality to be had there (o.-)b

So you want the NBA to pull the plug on the WNBA right now?

Are you sure about techonoligal enchancments making all sports better?

What sports do you watch?

This is starting to become a bigger issue as more and more transpeople come forward to compete. There's a reason we separate most sports by gender, after all. If you don't...well, you almost never see women on the victor's podium. Women's bodies are amazing but they're designed with different criteria in mind.

Maybe we just need a better way to determine who goes into which category. Average testosterone levels or something.

Hard to tell apart from arguments this year.

I mean, I've got nothing against separating sports by weight class or height or something like that instead of gender.

Your source is spurious and your post inherently transphobic, though, but I didn't expect anything better from an alt-right keyboard warrior.

Won't work, though. The problem is in the body chemistry. A 115 pound man will absolutely trounce the overwhelming majority of 115 pound women in almost any physical contest. Testosterone is a hell of a drug.

Now maybe that's not a good reason to segregate sports. We didn't used to, after all. For a long time, women competed against men, when they were allowed to compete at all. We could go back to that, but part of that is accepting that very few traditional looking women will be getting medals.

DROP ALL GENDER ROLES. DOWN WITH GENDER SEGREGATION.

Just merge the men's and women's sports leagues. Problem solved! I understand from some sources on the left that all differences between the two are social, anyway.

This should make all those sportball games a lot more interesting, if briefly and in a NASCAR-crash-y kind of way.
