Trans people don’t choose their birth situation. But they can adjust it. An athlete likewise can fix any health or body issue to improve performance. Example: treating asthma.

It seems that people arguing against are often hallucinating a total takeover of women’s sports that would negate the original purpose of gender segregation. In reality, it such a small number of people, there’s no such impact. If there was, could add a new league.

I don’t know... I think in a recent weight lifting competition the top two winners were born males.

Ah ok that may be the rub on this one - most people think it’s not “fair” if someone in a particular category has no chance of winning. I.e. born-male athletes make it so born-female athletes have no chance at winning (trans or not) so they think that isn’t “fair.”

Instead of fairness we could think of it as giving women an opportunity to participate in sports and win. Allowing transgenders to dominate the top level might reduce female participation and motivation (feeling like they have no chance to win).

By letting this nonsense in gender equality all play out identity zealots will eventually realize that genders are NOT equal, by looking at the winners of the competition?

All social norms are an illusion.. That doesn't make them arbitrary or subjective. Norms are about a relationship. By definition, that cannot be subjective. . The objectivity in social norms is found in their intent.

Most "sports" are "games". Games require rules. Lebron would be a nobody if we changed up a few rules. In sports, big goal is competitiveness. If the rules help predict close games (exciting) then proceed accordingly with rules to set that stage. If not.Change for other outcome
