          Some idiot with too much money is already on it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enhanced_Games

          Athletes are adults … and they have a right to do with their body what they wish - my body, my choice; your body, your choice, … And no government, no paternalistic sports federation, should be making those decisions for athletes

          Except for living as their gender dictates apparently, as:

          According to D’Souza, athletes should also be categorised based on their chromosomal sex.

          That said, if I understand this correctly, they are basically making, letting and forcing (select the one you like) trans men to compete in women’s sports.

        My understanding is that most professional sports are technically open to all genders, they just don’t hire female athletes generally.

        I looked at the top four professional sports organizations in America: the NHL, NFL, MLB, and the NBA.

        None of them prohibit women from playing. No woman has ever been drafted in the MLB or NFL, but the NBA did draft one woman who didnt end up playing, and the NHL had one woman play a preseason game.

        Edit: did you mean an exclusive league rather than an inclusive one?

              Those people’s position is that Harris was too liberal. Not voting out of spite for the Dems was stupid, but let’s at least get their position correct.
