Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

The answer is that dividing sports by someone's sex is stupid. It seemed like an easy answer, and like all easy answers, is a shitty answer.

But, the solution to that -- not having any sex or gender based separation is that (with current Olympic sports) pretty much every event would be won by a man, and in almost every category women wouldn't even make the finals, so they wouldn't even show up on TV.

Just find another thing to differentiate on. Lung capacity. Muscle density. The things that actually matter.

Using sex just approximates those anyway.
