I was watching pro golf coverage on the news and it seems so odd that men and women compete separately - same goes with pro bowling. Just seems weird to me that a game of skill is gendered when you can’t even raise an argument that someone might have an advantage because of what’s between their legs.
Why don’t we figure out how to identify differences that do matter and are commonly correlated with sex… the way boxing has weight classes? For instance, if testosterone level is the thing (not a sports scientist, I have no idea if it is), make 3-4 classes based on that. (If you only have 2 classes, people will figure out how to make it a sex-based thing.). Your sex isn’t the issue. That criterion is the issue. That way, differences are dealt with without everyone having to fit into 2 rigid gender categories, and the categories there are based on relevant traits. Plus, it doesn’t exclude intersex people.
