Well I agree, we should continue with this logic. Unironically get rid of gender discriminatory leagues. My gender has nothing to do with whether someone 2ft taller than me will destroy me at basketball. Or genetic reflexes differences, etc. The only way to separate people based on genetic ability would be to separate based on performance(and this of course disadvantages people of average performance because of genetics, but above average technique/training/etc.)
First, that's already how many sports are, there's an "open" league and a women's league that exists because sexual dimorphism is a hell of a drug.
Second, skill-based classes present a different perverse incentive to intentionally under-perform in order to dominate a lower bracket rather than ascend to the bottom of a higher tier.
There's not really a perfect solution as long as there are stakes beyond pride and good sportsmanship.
Most people that argue for making all sports open like this don’t seem to realize how much testosterone does for muscle growth.
Take the best 150lbs male boxer vs best 150lbs female boxer. Fight will be over in three hits and the woman would be half dead.
Take the best male boxer and me, fight will be over in 3 hits and I've be half dead.
Same. Are we both girls?
nope xd
Well yeah thats the thing, sex is one advantage, but so is a lot of the rest of genetics.
Agreed
