however I doubt you could ever completely eliminate that. seems more resourceful to have a 'trans-female' and 'trans-male' category.
For the sake of fair competition standards, it would probably make best sense to divide sports by birth love.
yea, but a transgender man on testosterone still has a huge advantage over other women. it would be seem as a performance enhancer. they need a seperate category
