What if we don’t split sports by gender or sex, but instead by physical ability? Those with birthdays towards the end of the school year also have a biological advantage.

Because every sport would be 95% men at the top?

Did you understand my suggestion? There would be different teams, split by approximate physical ability.

I assume you mean something like weight classes in combat sports? No one expects a welterweight to fight a heavyweight. And the existence of either class doesn’t reduce the achievements of anyone not in it.

Let’s use combat sports, how would you measure “approximate physical ability” ?
If you just go by weight and don’t split the genders, biological women won’t stand a chance.

And the “top” ability divisions would be mostly men.

How do you even begin to measure that?
Hight, bone density, muscle weight etc plays such a massive role.

I would leave it up to sports experts to measure it, which I am not one. It’s still a good idea, even if I don’t have the expertise to work out the details. I can see from other comments though that you are either a troll or very stupid, intentionally or unintentionally misunderstanding what we say to you. So this comment is not to you, it’s to all the lurkers and readers of comments that might otherwise be convinced by your arguments without a counterpoint.
