With the recent issues of transgender people in sports, why don’t we move some sports over to a weight-class system? - eviltoast

Obviously this won’t work for all sports, but things like football, track, soccer, it would allow for de-gendered team, even allowing athletes with the skills but not the genetically-endowed physical attributes to have a place to play.

Note: I know very little about sports and being on a sports team, so please point out anything that doesn’t make sense.

    You sure? I cannot find records adjusted to weight, but the male record is ~2:01h and the female 2:17h

    Edit: Why is there a cake next to my name? It cannot be that I am on lemmy for a whole year already? Fuck.

        why an egg? Would it be to represent the disorientation of suddenly realizing you have been on Lemmy for a whole year? Like how an animal may be disorientated when seeing the light of the world for the first time.
