Maybe a tiny minority do, but it isn't so much about the physicality and genes, but treatment and identification. Someone who's a man or woman in 99% of all contexts (except biology) think Sports, which is a human construct, is discriminatory, and as all human constructs, can be re-invented and changed.
Hey, not taking sides here, just saying it's not as simple as reducing to people who think women and men (or female and male) are actually the same.
But if it helps taking sides, from our current way of doing most competitive sports, it makes sense to split into male and female (biologically speaking, at birth) and transgenders shouldn't compete on the other side.
- lovecg 5y agoMy understanding is that in most sports there’s an “open” division where everyone can compete - though that means in practice men dominate. The “women” division is then created as a way towards better representation. It’s a progressive policy, not discrimination. If we get rid of the women’s division we’ll be left with men-only sports.
