It's that or not bother having women's sport at all . There are only two real options;

1) Accept that biological differences between the sexes means we need to have segregated male and female sports

2) Deny that there are biological differences between the sexes and have all sport fall under one category (open to all)


In the first option, trans women can't compete because there's an accepted biological advantage.

In the second option, neither women nor trans women can compete, because of biological advantages and the disadvantaging effect of hormone therapies. male-bodied people who identify as women or non-binary could compete against men. Trans women who have transitioned medically would stand no chance at the top level. Nor would trans men.

There's no option where male-bodied people competing exclusively against females is a fair or safe option. There's some junk science about checking hormone levels and that being an indicator of any advantage but it's constantly being debunked as nonsense. men are larger and stronger than women on average and have higher bone and muscle density (the difference is not small) and this isn't mitigated with hormonal therapies.

Really it's just that;

1) You think inority inclusion is more iportant than fairness in sport, and
2) You don't care one bit about inclusion for biological females because you hate them and want them not to exist.
