@alex @Moon >If boys win against the fastest women, is it fair for males to compete in female-only athletic events?
Why is it "unfair" just because one demographic is more likely to win? We don't call it unfair when strong or fast etc men win against weak or slow etc men. Why is it unfair when males win against females?

@Hyolobrika @alex because without the segregation by gender in the leagues, there would be no sport for the women as it would be impossible for even the elite women competitors to place.
the entirety of organized sport is participation, even for non-team competitive sports. we make up the rules, the leagues, the protocols. it's very simple: they are gendered so more people can meaningfully participate and enjoy the competition.
No, it wasn't put simple enough. It becomes crystal clear after convoluted rationalizations around "competition" and "participation" get thrown away, because it's men who don't participate in women's sports.
