    You’re correct (shooting… women are naturally better shooters than men in my experience.) I agree in competitions that don’t rely on pure physicality this ban wouldn’t make sense, but I don’t agree this is just misogyny versus some other type of prejudice.
    I think a one way ban makes sense in some fields because a trans man competing against cis men is already at a physical disadvantage. That’s not the case if the genders are switched.

    Curling is the only sport in the Olympics that matters and it would probably be fine ungendered.

        Literally the original comment I replied to claims, “this is just misogyny.”
