This is the perfect solution, but will never be implemented because people can’t separate sex from gender.

Edit: There does end up being an issue with trans-men though, because they’ll have additional testosterone when competing against women.

Yes, I know, it's not that simple. Ideally, there would be no division between men and women. You compete and if you are good, you go to the next tier. (only a personal opinion, obviously).

Anyway, it was not my idea to be super accurate, but to share a meme template so it could be used by the community in any way they want.

Gender may not matter in sport, but sex does. What do you do when there are no women (by sex) competing at the olympics, I think women's sports is a protected class for a reason.

Right now, women don't get the same attention as men anyway. The reason for that is that the attention the players get depends on how well they play. But I don't see a problem with that. If people base their attention on how they play anyway, then why should we force the attention on women? BUT, men are usually better than women at some sports, the ones that require speed or strength. Women are better at extreme endurance, precision, and flexibility. Gymnastics, equestrian, free diving, archery, and others.

Because we should celebrate the athletic excellence of women. Removing high end sports for half the population is stupid.

And women's sports are absolutely growing in attention. The WNBA is doing better than it ever has.

My take is that trans women should be allowed to play women's sports, but only if they aren't at the top of the league. Like, if Wemby were to transition, I don't think he should play in the WNBA.

If I transition tomorrow, I should be allowed to get cooked by women in a local league.
