What if we ended the debate over "trans women in women's sports" by just removing the "men's/women's sports" distinction and replacing it with weight classes? It sure seems to work for unarmed combat sports.

@anthracite then the bigots would cry about ruining sports *and* still find a way to whine about trans people participating

@anthracite Like the ADF filed a court case claiming ruining sports. Because a catcher on the other team had short hair and therefore must be trans and cheating.

I still wanna know what huge feat of athletic prowess they think the poor girl did.
