Tweet in link says: "if you are upset a trans woman was born with more muscle mass and shouldnt be allowed to compete then chuck expects you to be equally upset that lebron james was born tall and shouldnt be allowed to compete. it is absurd argument to say certain bodies are 'too good for a sport'"
Sports separated by sex is just a rudimentary attempt at weight classes based off of assumptions. If you really want to watch a fair fight then you should separate people by ability, weight, and physical traits that would give them advantages in their respected sports. At least in professional sports.
I don't know a lot about sports or the human body so I'm not sure how easy this would be, but I feel so surprised I've never seen single other person suggest this idea. Is it really that unthinkable? I genuinely want to know.
