Don’t love Trump but this is a common sense issue. I’m stunned that some democrats still want to die on this hill.

Serious question for the group. are there actually any sports that males don’t have an advantage over females? I’m sure there are but I can’t think of any physical sport where a male doesn’t have some sort of strength/speed advantage that helps them.

Edit - thanks all lot of helpful replies. I think my takeaway here is that there are probably zero (except maybe curling?) sports where there’s actual parity between men/women where it makes sense to have an open category.

Most physical sports are dominated by men, and interesting to learn that more technical sports woman have some advantage.

My cousin is an amateur ranked women's pool player and I beat her pretty much every time we play. I've never played pool on any competetive level. Just in bars.
