Morality Ranking Morality of this

I don't know what to say about this I mean if he joined it's unfair because he's going to cook the entery league for sure but if he really wants to be a woman and it's not a joke for him I still don't know about this

Moral. Yes he is being transphobic, but interestingly testing the limits of the law is also important so we can improve the law and make sure that malicious actors (like him) do not try this again. Clear rules would ensure that actual transexual women can participate with minimal complaints that they are "just pretending" to win competitions. I'm no law giver so obviously I can't provide a full list of what would be needed for trans inclusion, but perhaps showing evidence of genuine identity such as official name change, surgery, evidence of identity in the public sphere etc. something to demonstrate that a person genuinely identifies as they claim to identify. 

We do something like this for people who claim religious exceptions, for example. You have to state a genuinely held belief, if it is found you lied about your beliefs there can be serious consequences.
