    create a division that’s biological females only.

    As a trans man, I see this as an absolute win. /s

    I’m just making a pedantic joke btw. I’m assuming you’re talking about cis women.

          You keep saying that but never giving a fucking logical reason. Reading your schizophrenic replies is getting old.

          Explain, why it’s fucking important. Saying its important doesn’t make it so.

          wanting to probe my genitals while not being my doctor is transphobic, that is the only person who would EVER have to see my genitals. anything more is a sign of a serious issue, words cannot describe the discomfort that would cause me, and im a grown adult.

      If they were talking about that set it would be useful to specify that set. But of course that would mean using icky terms like “cis” instead of denying the humanity and even biological existence of trans people. Can’t be having that, now.

      The women’s sports that they care so highly about at this time for some reason. Next they’ll probably talk about some hypothetical niece that plays sports and “whatever will she do” in sports with the trans

        If there’s no genetic advantage for men, why did Chess have separate divisions?

        The ACTUAL answer is misogyny. Chess was(and still is tbh) a very misogynistic “sport” back in the day, and many male professional chess players refused to play against women, and the ones that did play against them were often crude. To try and get more women interested in chess, women only divisions were created. It has literally nothing to do with genetic advantages.

        I can’t speak for chess, but in gaming where there’s similarly no sex advantage, female gamers are rarely seen at the higher levels because the environment is very hostile towards them. Creating a separate women’s league would alleviate this to some degree and encourage more women to actually try to reach for the top.

                That our society didn’t even let women take part in marathons at one point and the first time someone did that was by just taking part without making clear that they’re a woman and they’ll be themselves taking part in it. You can draw your conclusion from that

                If there’s no difference in sports or shit with men and women, shouldn’t we just have one division?

                I would think so, yes. I’m no expert on either lol.

                If a sport that doesn’t depend on physicality still has separate divisions ( literally chess) what does that mean to you?

                What is it supposed to mean? I have no idea why it’s like that. Here’s a relevant wikipedia article. I don’t know why you’re asking me this lmao, but I didn’t come here for an argument. I made a joke. Peace out ✌️
