Cultural systems have historically defined sex segregation. The imperfect science has led to failures in policing gender in sports.

What if the separation of competitions, “said to be a natural consequence of the differences between men and women,” is actually is “just a tool to create those differences”?

    Interesting read. My only issue is:

    Noting that other physical differences—such as longer arms, skin color, a natural ability to absorb more oxygen than average—aren’t exclusive categories,

    There are weight categories for wrestling, boxing, etc. I don’t think that needs to be excluded to make this point.
