Male puberty gives permanent advantages. HRT can only do so much. The point isn't the biology though since the current thing is to let anyone who identifies as woman compete against women so why would we change that to say somebody who doesn't identify as female compete against women?

The point of the women's leagues is so they don't have to compete against men because women are biologically unable to compete at the same high level as men

So you acknowledge the different leagues are there because of physical constraints...

The point isn't the biology though since the current thing is to let anyone who identifies as woman compete against women

But now think the leagues are all about self identification? What the fuck are you talking about?

As far as I know, self identification for different leagues has only been for children playing sports. And that's because we don't want genital inspections for children to play sports.
