I'm not familiar with that term and the subject, what's the issue with checking someone fit in the corresponding physical category? Sport is all about the physical body and performance, not about personality. Physical categories could be abandoned, but if they are maintained there then it's seems logical to check, maybe with a more scientific test like testosterone level being into a range. Regardless of gender people would then compete in their (testosterone?) class, like weight classes exists in some sports.
- watwut 3y agoYeah, I take issue with forcing anyone including 13 years old to undergo genital checks. It is literally in the sexual harassments category and massively humiliating. Also, if there is manufactured controversy, it is this one. It is not like there would be hundreds of trans women destroying female sport. This issue exists purely to outrage people and to be cruel to few that exist.
- shapenamer 3y agoweird take imo, I played multiple sports in highschool and every year I had to go have a doctor (always female, but I'm supposed to be ok with this I guess, but I wasn't) handle my genitals or I wouldn't be allowed to compete.
- watwut 3y agoThat is definitely not normal.
