hmm - i like the idea of removing gender from divisions and instead using another criteria that better defines an individual's ability. that way when a trans woman goes to compete they aren't specifically put into a category for men but rather a group of people who have relatively comparable abilities. sortof like weight classes. i mean - it's still kinda shitty because now someone has to decide based on difficult criteria who belongs where, but i think that's a step in the right direction. i'm would hope that for trans folks, the idea that they are put into a gendered category is what is the most discriminatory rather than a skill/ability category. however, the end result would likely be the same just with different labels. maybe that's what matters most? i don't know. no easy answers.
