Do away with gendered leagues and put it into a multi-tiered system when people compete for positions in different tiers, and potentially have multiple paths so that people can see games of sheer power or precise technique and there’s never a situation like three Pats or the Yankees where money is what buys the best team (all players in a tier would have similar performance).
I’ve been under the impression that the top leagues NFL, MLB, NHL, etc… aren’t necessarily gendered, but women just can’t compete. That’s why they have women only leagues so they have a place they can compete. Am I wrong about this?
There are sports where women have reached or surpassed men’s records, for example long-distance endurance races or some accuracy-based competitions. Anything where raw explosive strength or size isn’t the main deciding factor. There are examples in history where women have been banned from participating in specific sports because they have been able to win in competition with men.
I think, for the leagues you listed, size, strength and speed are often key, and as such most men have an advantage over most women. I don’t doubt there could be exceptions to that rule.
How many trans athletes do you think there are that there’s enough for leagues? Some states have like single digits. It’s ridiculous. The fact that a president is spending time on this is absurd. This is a local school district issue if that.
Sounds like we need trans leagues.

Fewer than 10 nationwide playing in college and that probably includes ftm.

Only thing that is fair imo.
