So, stop with the blanket statements regarding men and women in sports.Sure, there are exceptions and, yes, there are women who are bigger, stronger and faster than some men. I didn't say all. However, at every comparable level of experience and training, a large majority males will be more athletic (a generic reference to being bigger, stronger and faster) than a large majority of females.
We generally do a decent job of ensuring competitive balance. We have age ranges for sports, so 20 year olds don't play against 13 year olds. We have different levels of competition i.e. Freshman vs Jr. Varsity vs Varsiity. In boxing and wrestling, we have weight categories. We do this to try to promote fairness. In golf we have a seniors tour.
And, of course, we start by separating male and female sports when it makes biological sense (aka puberty). Generally, it starts in junior high/middle school. It continues in high school, through the pros and includes the Olympics. I believe the Olympics now has a female equivalent for every male sport. The last addition being boxing.
It sounds very reasonable.
If true, then the people who implemented the fairness steps (described above) are all complicit in this "narrative".
Yes there are some.
Other than very high level sports we, as a society, seem to accept men and women playing together.
The numbers and the risk don't justify your stance that the very few trans females should be banned.
By your logic every trans females should dominate their sport, not finish 5th tied with a nut bag from Kentucky.
