No more men’s and women’s league, no more “gender eligibility” requirements, a common dresscode, same standards and rules for all.

Edit: since it looks like people missing the word let: the suggestion isn’t to force desegregation. It’s to allow it or even make it the default. Someone else made a good suggestion: segregate by attributes specific to the sport. In boxing it’s weight class, in basketball it could be height, in biking it could even be doped and non doped. Sex and gender need not be the very first thing to segregate by.

    You say that but women’s tennis didn’t exist until a woman beat all the men and won a tournament.

      Exception that proves the rule? That’s pretty awesome though.

      IDK, men already dominate so much of the world, why not make space for women’s sports.

      But imo it should be more like the weight classes in wrestling and less like the binary mens/women’s thing with different rules.

      Like why are men’s and women’s gymnastics so different. Why can’t the person do the event they want to compete in?
