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.

      The problem isn’t that people don’t understand that, the problem is that there are people who don’t fit into the binary distinction
