I just had a brilliant idea on how to sort this out: rather than sort competitors by sex, gender and age, we should be sorting them by performance!
Have 100m runs with unfit 50 year old males competing against 8 year old girls!

Well couldent they have womens sports, mens sports and transgender sports.

Like IDk I am not a sports person but seem the easier solution than constantly debating all this stuff is have womens sports, mens sports and transgender sport. But that said I never have really understood the appeal of sports ball to begin with.

"Transgender" gender doesn't exist.

Gender is determined by a legal authority.

These authorities mostly only recognize male or female.

California also allows "non-binary" gender.

Oh no stop! You're making too much sense.
