we have womens sports for the same reason we have the paralympics
most of the time this goes unexamined and unspoken, but occasionally some prick like bobby riggs or McEnroe decides to make a point about it. It's a little ironic that in their desire for inclusion as women in sport, male to female trans athletes are once again bringing back into focus this inconvenient truth, and I think will get confronted by disgruntled female athletes that gender identity choice and gender are not the same thing if the big kiwi trans weightlifter wins gold in tokyo. there's already ructions. I'm not that fussed myself, it's only women's sport, but I can't see how you can please all parties. It's one of those life of brian foetus gestating in a bucket things
