#BC people realised it is indeed stupid to have a women's category that can't be won by people with biologically female sex characteristics

#Holy shit I hate the takes about women's sport on here
#like it's not a problem if you neither do nor watch women's sport
#and obviously it's important to find solutions that are fair to women with biologically male features like xy chromosomes
#such as trans women and women with these specific intersex conditions
#but this whole uwu why do we even have a women's sport category or whatever
#is just so fucking dumb
#half the planet is biologically female and has XX chromosomes
#there are AMAZING women athletes in the world
#and the reason we do that is because we realised that... women's performance isn't measured
#by how well they compete against men
#bc men shockingly aren't the gold standard for competition
#in most Olympic disciplines the women's world record isn't enough to even qualify for men's events
#that's not sexism or a drag against the incredible women who set these records
#that's just a fact
#XY intersex women have an insane athletic advantage over XX women
#(which is why at the last Olympics without regulations
#THE ENTIRE PODIUM of the women's 400m was women with XY chromosomes and male-typical testosterone levels
#that's what lead to the regulations in the first place...
#BC people realised it is indeed stupid to have a women's category that can't be won by people with biologically female sex characteristics
#)
#and I get that it's a complicated topic that's never going to be fair to everyone
#but this whole discussion is just so unfair towards women's athletes
#and it feels like there's this weird assumption that women's protection is ONLY allowed
#as long as there's not a single person with biologically male sex characteristics who feels offended by that
