Fair, I guess. Though there’s this quote of a (trans or xxy, can’t remember) female marathonist that was under the spotlight in the olympics nearly 10 years ago. She pointed out that no one said 1 complain on Phelps having “unnatural” big lungs or higher testosterone than the average male.
That’s quite revealing. To me, dividing sports by genitalia-at-birth is too arbitrary. Same goes with boxing and the weights. Obviously there is a gradient. Any lines will harm.
So… In the end is what would you rather hurt, people or your convictions on how traditionally sport X is organized. I dream we can change how these are organized in light of science… Idk if it’s possible at all…
