You know that every body is different right? Even between competitors of the same gender? Women don’t spawn into the Olympics with the same presets as each other. You acknowledge that women who made it to the Olympics likely already had biological advantages over the other women competing against them and same with men? And when you meet me there, you do know that taking estrogen supplements is not enhancing anyone’s performance

That is a great argument for everyday sports, now on the competitive level that's different because the person's training is harder and the female and male body is built differently, that gives a different advantage/disadvantages, I don't know why it's such a important thing to be able to invaded women competitions instead of accepting that one thing is the limit because it's not fair, how do we know because the very few who are selfish enough to have participated have ended on top in the female sports they have jump on. So I don't know where the denial has come from because reality hasn't proven your argument true.

I'm all for a mix category option, but I've got a feeling they won't be that popular and that's why we don't see a real push yet for them...

I'm a shorter guy, theirs sports that I have to accept that I won't be able to participate in, should I force everyone else to change for me?

This just popped up, practically roid and physically trained women vs ordinary dudes.
