I consider modern competitive sport rules stupid. Personal physiological factors may make more difference even within the same group.
That and the ability of a state to burn millions of dollars per sport on a national training program for children, teens, and young adults where trying to be the best is more important than being healthy, which regularly leads to permanent debilitating injuries.
Modern rules seem like bullshit when you've got a superhuman like Michael Phelps being touted as the best swimmer ever and if you get any kind of genetic advantage as a woman, you are categorized as a man.
I would like to know about what the lifelong effects of being born male are if you get puberty blockers at a young age tho
