salute To your efforts in the posting trenches.

Given how much effort there has been over the … centuries? … to both make rules to create fairness and find ways around those rules to gain an advantage, if Testosterone was the one defining factor for all sports in all situations then there would just be a competitive breakdown for each sport by a player’s T-score.

There isn’t.

So, much in the same way that combat sports don’t have a “bone density” test and sorts boxers, wrestlers, MMA fighters, etc into Bone Density A/B/C/etc classes, I’m very inclined to view all arguments that sports should be broken down by Gender or Assigned Sex At Birth markers to keep the sports fair/competitive, as not very compelling the longer these ‘debates’ rage on.
