So - by that logic - you’re fine with short trans women, trans men, cisgender men and cisgender women competing together as all tall people have unfair advantages over short people.

Please take this the right way, but I clearly have nothing to gain in this conversation aside from frustration. Obviously, my ideas and thoughts are so unspeakable they are indefensible in this environment, and I’m tired of feeling like my discussing human biology and factual matters is equivalent to folly and hate. You won, have a great day
They can just be wrong.

Yep. As a cisgendered person, I don’t think I can disagree.

This seems to ignore everything I said. I’ll say the same thing in many fewer words. You are are advocating for creating different divisions based on physical advantages.
Do you think there should be height divisions in basketball just as there are weight divisions in judo?
I’ll be honest that I don’t know if I mean that as a gotcha question. I really don’t know what you think. From my end it looks like you are very fixated on gender as a division of specific importance when “being a foot and a half taller” is probably a much better predictor of athletic ability in most sports.
And yet there are women’s chess competitions. I feel like that is more evidence to my point that gender divisions do not exist for the reason you seem to think they do, but exist for social reasons to solve social problems.

If people think trans people are an unfair advantage in sport maybe they should all get some in their teams. The only foreseeable problem is getting through the 100m Bigot Hurdles trial.

If we were especially good at athletics- every professional team would be falling all over us with signing bonuses.
Not a one. The stats just aren’t in our favor on being superior at sports.
But chess - that’s a different matter.
