By the time it got down to 30 people left there were like 3 women (and one of them was blatantly up to the gills on steroids). None at all in the top 10.
I only point it out as an example because throughout the competition they all compete freely against each other and it is brutal. The strength, speed and endurance difference is insane. Anyone claiming that a bit of HRT negates that in professional sportspeople is simply lying to themself.

I suppose tbf to Physical 100, they wouldn't have enough runtime to do two separate divisions within an episode, and I'm guessing that Netflix doesn't want to separate the women division into a spin-off Show?
And I do agree with you about Transwomen in women's Sports.
Tbh in nearly every other way I like to think that I'm a live and let live kind of guy when it comes to the Trans community, but not when it comes to stopping female athletes from being able to compete in their own Sports.
