Feminism: Sex and gender discussions

To think this is a clear bit of film that all MP’s should watch, demonstrating why men in women’s sport is ludicrous?

American and sport based but the implication and consequences are clear.

Hopefully this stays as an AIBU rather than being either deleted or moved to another section.

Lia joining the women's swimming team sure was a game changer, but perhaps not in the way Lia had intended... #PeakTheWorld #SaveWomensSports________________...

I don't have an issue with transwomen competing against real women, sport should be a meritocracy and the best should rise to the top. Sex, race, age, sexuality etc should be irrelevant - the winner should be the fastest/strongest.

I think we should abolish divisions based on sex and age in the same way that we've abolished divisions like the Negro American League and Eastern Colored League in baseball. Nowadays people compete in the same league regardless of race. It should be the same for age and gender. There should be one category/league/pyramid and all players compete against one another. Clearly sports would need organising into divisions to accomodate all the people who wanted to play, and there would be a transition period whilst things settled into a natural order.

Using football (soccer) as an example, the women's teams could be slotted into the main competitions. Promotion and relegation would then raise or lower them into their appropriate place. Better yet, just base it on market forces and abolish the separate male/female teams. Just have one team and allow them to field as many men/women as they want. It will naturally level out, the best women will find places in the teams and will bump male players out, pushing them lower down the leagues.
