I’ve never understood why bathrooms or sports are segregated by gender. Makes absolutely no sense to me and I’ll go to my dying day believing it’s nonsense.

    I’ve never understood why bathrooms or sports are segregated by gender.

    Sports aren’t entirely divided by gender. There are female competitions, which are only for women, and ‘male competitions’, which are open to everybody. Though women rarely enter the latter, because, aside from chess, they get obliterated due to unfair physiology.

      In highschool, i played on a JV soccer team that 4 women on it. (We also had a women’s Varsity and JV teams, that did really well. We could hold our own against the men’s varsity team and could smoke the women’s varsity team.

      TBF, we also had a Brazilian middle- schooler on the team, who was ineligible for varsity due to being 13 at the time, who went on to a pro career, and is currently on an international team!

      The first time a woman won the archery competition in the Olympics it was the last time it wasn’t segregated. Right after that, the federation “created” the women competition.
