Hot take: My solution to trans people in women's sports: anyone can play women's sports if they sign an agreement that they will exclusively compete in women's sports for the next 2 years.
That's it. That's the whole solution.
(The 2 years thing is kinda arbitrary, could be longer or shorter, but wanted to leave at least some space for some trans folks that later decide fem is less correct, or not to completely ruin an athlete's career because they made a stupid mistake as a kid)

Trump Is Winning His Trade War. What Will That Mean for the Economy? - The New York Times

In the big Trump show, it is about the perception of winning...
If he will be really winning will be discussed in history, 10 or maybe 20 years from now. My guess is there will be little good we can say about this most incompetent grifting megalomaniac that somehow stumbled into the presidency in his first term and now got the taste to try it again.

Unknown parent • • •One thing I've seen pointed out - currently our most popular and promoted men's sports specifically give a competitive advantage to people who are taller, stronger, larger muscle mass, etc. Which are all things that T does to a body, especially when given at puberty. There are other sports that lower center of gravity, agility, height, lighter weight, etc give more advantage.
So it would be a reasonable first step to work to develop sports that neither gender by default has a specific advantage or disadvantage. Or that have different positions in the team sport that would be more naturally advantageous for women or men.
Rather than having our sports be things that were designed for men, oh, but women can play too, in their own segregated and less important league, make sports that everyone can play and rely on talent and skill, not on the amount of muscle mass you have.

Unknown parent • • •@oldladyplays I'll also say that in my observation, women's footballers will play just as hard, tackle just as hard, and then help each other up and move on, in instances that men would be rolling on the ground and calling for a penalty. It's in many ways just a different game.

in reply to Jess👾 • • •Any cis man who wants to be a troll to try and come in and win at women's sports can. They just have to pay the price of 2 years of their athletic career to compete with women. Which if a guy is actually good enough to beat top tier in the division women athletes, they're not going to want to give up that much of their time on a troll. The joke of trying to beat women is going to get super old once they discover - oh, now when they lose, they're losing to girls. And turns out, women athletes are good enough a mediocre man would probably lose quite often, even with the advantages T gives.
Trans women not on HRT? Some may win, most will lose. Same as anyone who competes in sports. But isn't that kinda the whole point of sports? Rise to the level that you're better than your competitors, whomever they are?
