This^ - as @[email protected] noted - women and men are good at different things so I don’t see why we can’t require mixed gender teams with equal representation for pretty much all sports.
And if somebody cries “fOrCeD dIvErSiTy!!” then you never really cared about women’s participation in sports anyways.
i like that: just sports, not womens- or mens- or trans- or whatever- sports. but by which system do you stop an all males team identifying as women for the duration of a weightlifting competition?
i dont have a good answer. but i was hoping someone in the discussion has.
ok, that sounds better. does insurance pay for HRT where you are, or what does that cost you? generally i think doing sports should not be behind a paywall (except equipment, which is hard to circumvent).
but in that case, it may be the best thing available to prevent shenanigans like the linked story.

Many/most sports require trans women to have been on HRT for 12-24 months prior to the competition.
