    Why don’t we just allow men (I mean actual men, not trans women) in women’s sports then?

    I honestly doubt anyone’s going to change gender just to become a pro athlete, but for an actual trans athlete, what’s stopping her from reducing her estrogen intake for the competition season? That’s essentially the same as doping IMO.

      well it’s largely because women weren’t allowed to participate in anything until less than one lifetime ago. and when they were allowed, they were segregated.

      for your second question, again, no one really gives a shit when this stuff happens to cis men, but just to humor the disingenuous interest, you’d stop her by requiring approved doctors to monitor such things.
