    When you culture is so much about cOMpEtItiOn that you forget that sports are just a made up thing for witch we get to make whatever rules we like. Gender segregation in sports isn’t that eternal either.

    If you’re that worried about different abilities competing, install a tiered system like the Special Olympics.

    EDIT: Interesting read: https://daily.jstor.org/gender-incommensurability-in-sports/

    What if the separation of competitions, “said to be a natural consequence of the differences between men and women,” is actually is “just a tool to create those differences”?

      Maybe different brackets based on measured testosterone level? The highest tier can be super buff dudes on steroids. Sounds interesting.
