Girls sue to block participation of transgender athletes

85. Not necessarily.

Maybe there would be men's teams, women's teams, and mixed-gender teams. It would depend on the sport. And think of it as the kind of rankings that happen in baseball, with major league, minor league, and non-affiliated teams.

That's how Ultimate Frisbee works. All three kinds of teams. But all men teams play other all men teams, all women teams play other all women teams. The mixed teams have a system that whoever currently controls the disk populates the field with whatever ratio of men to women they choose, and the other team matches.

They also have a system where at tournaments where individual players just show up, they are assigned to teams more or less randomly. The players are asked to rate themselves as to skill. I think it's a 1, 2, 3 rating, and I don't recall which is higher. The players are expected to be honest about their skill level.

Oh, another thing. It's self-refereed. Players are expected to be willing to call fouls on themselves.

Yeah, I know, this would never work at the professional level of any sport.

My younger son used to play Ultimate, which is why I know this stuff.

But back to your comment. Perhaps a number of women's sports would disappear. I hope not. Even though I myself am not much of a sports fan at all, I recognize there would be a loss. The underlying issue, especially at the pro level, is the "win at any cost" mentality. It's why there is so much cheating in certain sports. I'll simply reference the recent sign-stealing thing in baseball.
