It used to be gay everything. Now in the last few months it is trans everything. We are supposed to turn society upside down to make transsexuals happy.

Our culture needs to repent of having fools for education and culture policy makers. They want to call God and His word unfair. They can create nothing. They can make lines of truth as tangled and twisted as a Nestor snakes. Read Job, Chapter 41 and Repent, researchers?!?

"Let the best athletes compete against each other regardless of race, sexual preference, gender, etc."

The problem with this is that there ARE real categories that make a difference. This is impossible to deny:

AGE: we don't play 10 year old, 20 year olds, and 70 year olds against each other in football.

SIZE: a 125 pound boxer doesn't go in the ring against 250 pound boxer.

DRUG/DOPE/HORMONE ISSUES: People on steroids don't compete with people not on steroids, And similarly, people with testosterone of 1.7 10 nmol/L. do not compete with people with testosterone 7.0 nmol/L, let alone 70 nmol/L or 700 nmol/L.

That's fairness based on real and dramatically significant differences.

And it would prevent even hormonally altered men, from playing againg biological women.

57 “genders” times 2 actual sexes would require 114 categories. Each with full Title IX requirements at the collegiate level.

Yep, yours is the very best idea. From a common sense standpoint it is flawless.

And it will never happen.

There’s something to be said for that. Under U.S. law, how is a women’s sports league any different than a segregated restaurant from the Jim Crow era?

The letter of the law, or how it is practically applied?

In practice, women, like blacks, are favored classes. Blacks are allowed to self segregate in "black clubs" on campus. Similarily, women are allowed (encouraged) to have they own sports. It is even in U.S. law as "title 9" for university sports.

I say accelerate this insanity to a fever pitch. Women will finally get it and push back. The push back will settle it once and for all.

Exactly. Even sports are being used as a divisive tool. The only way to find the best, most dominant team or person is to let all participants of sports leagues compete against each other.

Yes, there will be some who feel this is unfair but it is not. A person can not expect their best individual results without competition with the best athletes available.

Are you interested in losing?

...takes into account gender identity, socioeconomic status and physiology...

And there you have it - the leftist/socialist underpinnings peek through. They want social and economic status to figure in also. "Sorry, you don't get to compete, your parents make too much money." Or "Well, we're going to give the poor kid a head start..." It is all part of a leftist/socialist agenda to tear down and destroy everything, replacing it with their vision of "fairness" which really just means they get to control everything.

Suits me. Women have been pushing this for the most part - empowerment - and now its coming home to roost.

Women have been empowered. Always have been.

Only now have they lost that power, now that they can do ‘anything’.

You cannot fix insanity with more insanity.

The fact is that on average, men and women perform differently in sports. It is not due to discrimination. A man who lops off his weewee and goes into the lady’s room, is not a woman.

Trying to reconcile the two facts with fancy words doesn’t work and just produces more stupidity.

Trans-men (being women biologically) do not have an advantage over male competitors. They are at a distinct disadvantage.

Women stand to lose everything with this current insanity.

From bathrooms to scholarships.

“...replacing it with an algorithm which takes into account gender identity, socioeconomic status and physiology.””

I have always suspected that obese disabled homeless people are the best athletes on the planet.

Any author who uses the “cis-” pronoun should not be taken seriously. Sometimes you have to cull the herd, not coddle its inconsistencies.

“The best solution is to dump the male/female binary in sport, replacing it with an algorithm which takes into account gender identity, socioeconomic status and physiology.”

Is it possible for people to be that stupid?

No. These Leftists want to totally destroy society as we know it.

They must get together at night and snicker over getting people to accept their atrocities.

I imagine a time where each athlete will be assigned some factor at the beginning of a competition. This factor will include testosterone level, yearly income, non-whiteness, non-maleness, etc.

Then whatever the result of the competition, that result will be multiplied or divided by the factor to get the final result which will determine the winner.

How exciting will that be?
