Come on'n get your jamaharon on! There are no real rules—just don't break the weather control network.
It's totally fine to be interested in these things. Where it gets murky is when people say things like: women with too much testosterone are too good and should take drugs to block their natural testosterone levels. Just because someone is at that 1% advantage level doesn't mean we should stop them from competing. If anything we should let them cook so we can see what the upper limits of human potential could be
Yeah but it's not like it's unheard of to group different people im different divisions according to their abilities. Like most sports have women's and men's divisions, which as we are finding out, is at best kinda not a perfect way to divide people as it leaves quite a bit up for interpretation and at worst entirely arbitrary. But that's not the only examples, younger people tend to be organized by age which is unfortunate for those going into puberty later and busted for those going in earlier.
I think re-evaluating what constitutes a separate division and how people are organised into them is a totally fair thing to do and approaching that from a standpoint of the potential biological and physiological advantages a person might have, is in my opinion a valid way of doing so, though probably not how I would go about it.

Or do you just accept that some people are extraordinary and that a Usain Bolt, Michael Phelps or [insert female athlete with unusual physical characteristics] can come along once a generation and dominate a sport because they were born to do so?
