With the recent issues of transgender people in sports, why don’t we move some sports over to a weight-class system?

Obviously this won’t work for all sports, but things like football, track, soccer, it would allow for de-gendered team, even allowing athletes with the skills but not the genetically-endowed physical attributes to have a place to play.

Note: I know very little about sports and being on a sports team, so please point out anything that doesn’t make sense.

Ok but what if.... We just got rid of sports.

Bad idea. We need games so we don't raid each other's monkey groups.

E Sports. Liquid bread and electronic circus.

Modern problems require modern solutions.
