I guess I was naive to expect this to be about anything else, but the title of this should be "Why I Think Trans Women Shouldn't be Allowed to Compete as Women"

I guess I was naive to expect this to be about anything else, but the title of this should be "Why I Think Trans Women Shouldn't be Allowed to Compete as Women". It's adapted from some report by some right-wing Canadian thinktank, which apparently is very interested in fairness in sport.
I was hoping to read about those interesting cases where women generally outclass men (ultra distance running), or where individual women have completely outperformed men in a sport where they have no biological advantage. My favourite example of this is Lynn Hill's first free ascent of The Nose on El Cap. Shortly after she returned and did it in under 24 hours. No other climber repeated the ascent for 4 years, and none matched her time for over a decade.
