> Along with this ruling is a decision to examine the creation of an open (third) category for everyone, which I think makes sense. The general public are unlikely to take this seriously. Who is going to compete in this third category? Women are unlikely to compete in it because they stand to be outclassed by any men entering the category. Men will be similarly unlikely to compete because there is likely to be higher prestige in men-only competitions. The whole thing will revolve around game theory, where every potential participant will weigh up the likelihood of winning, personal pride, and monetary or publicity rewards. What you'll end up with is a bunch of transgenders participating with a minute niche following. Then they'll start complaining about "cis privilege", or whatever, because nobody (and hence lucrative sponsorship deals) will take them seriously.
