There are many sports leagues where what is considered to be the mens league, is actually open to women, it’s just that no women have ever competed in those leagues.

In baseball for example there have been some women playing professionally for minor league teams, and some time ago for the first time in D1 college baseball.

It doesn’t have to be trans only. Just trans friendly.

I agree, but it is the same with the male/female categories. A “mixed” category would be the least controversial?
All I’m afraid of is for it to become the “freestyle” swimming category, where everyone goes for the same thing.
