We already acknowledge some limitations on the range of diversity acceptable to a meaningful contest. For the purposes of a foot race, what is a "girl"? Clearer definitions will help. No 3-legged runners, no cyborgs, no dogs who identify as human (you know who you are).

These women no longer have penises. In the case of Fallon Fox, the transgender MMA fighter, who literally just crushed a woman's skull in MMA competition last week... we have a serious issue to confront.

Yeah, imagine a case where you have a girl who is dosed with testosterone her entire life, specifically to have an advantage in sports. The gender categories are getting to be meaningless. We'll have to define better categories that accurately account for what is meaningful.

The peak performers in sports will always be minorities in some way -- that's why they're on top. Look at real-life mutants like Michael Phelps and Usain Bolt. These guys arguably deserve to be in a category of their own because it's not fair to have them competing vs human men.
