I'm cool with that as well. Happy as a clam if we want to start making a bunch of sport distinctions around advantages such as height, T, bone density, etc. Ho

However, until we do so, the problem remains that there are clearly advantages physically to being a man and that is why we have male and female sporting events. That distinction doesn't magically go away because someone does not identify with their gender. The division isn't about gender, it's about sex.
- belorn 8y agoWhile we are in an agreement on optimal solution, I don't see why we need to wait. We still have NBL running, and the average hight for men there is about 1 foot (30cm) more. Similar, there were a study rather recently that looked at winter OS winners and found that about 80% of them had blood levels that represented (if I get the zeros right) 1/1000000 chance of naturally occurring. OS is not being put on hold. Those problems have remained for a very long time and yet we have done very little to remove those clear unfair advantages. What should we do until we fix them? I prefer common solution to similar issues so what ever fix that is deemed acceptable should be usable for all form of genetic advantages, and it would likely resolve a bunch of doping problems at the same time.
