    I completely agree with this and I think most reasonable people would agree there is no significant difference in athleticism between pre-pubescent children of any gender, and no real reason to separate them competitively.

    The conversation becomes much more difficult when you get closer to adulthood/post-pubescence. It becomes a tradeoff between social equality and competetive/sporting equality, and I don’t know there is a real “right” answer there. It is not fair to exclude any woman from participating at whatever level they want to athletically. Do we consider someone who transitions later in life to be in the same category physically and athletically to someone who transitioned much earlier or is afab? I honestly don’t know.

    We are a generation trying to work towards a morality of the future with only experience and knowledge of the past. I really hope we get close to the mark.
