Why should we have to?
There is literally no reason for sex segregation in sports
Chess has 2 devisions women's and everyone why all top chess players male then? Most basketball has he same arrangement why only men in best teams why no women?
That's a joke, right? Sorry if I'm missing sarcasm here
Patriarchy, toxic masculinity, misogyny and ego, men don't want to be beat by women or other genders.
No need to use a slur. Say careless or misremembering instead.
I should have the right to refer to myself however i want. Insert the same argument about bodily self autonomy here.
This is not the same. This is like shouting a slur on a bus. Even if you aimed it at yourself, it can still cause harm to those around you.
It's almost like the current sports categories are also a social construct
So why no women at heigh levels in the open divisions.
