I don’t really care for women’s sports. Having men dressed as women competing will simply hasten the demise of women’s sports anyway.

That might eliminate a lot of the doubt about what certain participants claim to be, LOL.

"If it has a Y ... it is a guY."

Chromosomes provide the simple tool to level the playing field. It is disgusting to watch men compete against women in sports where testosterone provides such an edge toward the physicality required for victory. These are pitiful men. These are men who weren't good enough to compete with other men, and seek to dominate women instead for their own self-esteem.
