This circles back to why we sexual sports leagues to being with.

If a xy athlete has a statistical advantage over a xx athlete, do we care?

If we don't care then we setup one league regardless of genders.

If we do care, then we segment the groups and have multiple leagues.

the IOC is going to have to come out with a clear mission statement and define the purpose of their parallel leagues. I think there will be lots of debate as people are mixing gender identity vs chromosomes and developmental hormones. I don't envy the IOC officials

I feel like their plan is to just keep avoiding the discussion until something bad happens or we hit a flashpoint moment of some sort, and that's going to be bad for everyone except the IOC because they can say they were 'forced to take action' and wash their hands of it.

I hate where we're at but I get their reasoning, I don't see any fair solution here, they're all unfair.

I do kind of respect their approach. We're just going to go by what's on the passport.

Kind of kicking in the can, but let other countries work it out

The reason for women's leagues is to encourage women to join and enjoy the sport. Hard to enjoy a sport when the opponents demolish you every time. Thus, women's leagues are closed to men, but men's leagues are open to women.

@Kaboom TBF I love gaming and I suck at it. But I guess most people aren't like that.
