It already is fair. Trans people are under represented in sports, and mediocre male athletes (after transitioning) are mediocre female athletes. Many cis women have higher T levels then transwomen are even allowed to have (in some leagues at least).
The real question is do we separate out women with pcos, because they are over represented in women’s sports and have higher T levels. They actually have an advantage, but I haven’t seen any news stories about it.
It wasn’t a serious question, I was just pointing out the the things people fear about trans women in sports (higher T levels and “taking over” from other women) are already kinda applicable to another group of women I don’t see any fear mongering over. Separating either group out would be silly.
I don’t think there’s been a notable instance of a trans athlete blazing through the finish line or dunking on Cameron Brink. They finish in like 5th places in races and then the women who finish in even worse spots seethe lol

Idk, probably not? Sounds kinda bad. Plus segregation by hormone levels might be deeply silly. Also pcos kinda sucks?

Oh ok totally understandable.
Yea I probably should have reworded it, when I posted it I wondered if my tone was clear enough.
No worries just me being funny =)
