But the whole tension is over sports:

Do we base sports on the biological reality of sex or mute our awareness of that objective fact[1] to preference “identity” — even if the outcome is females[2] no longer having a space to compete?

[1] - Humans like other apes (and mammals) are sexually dimorphic.

[2] - Female is the scientific term referring to the sex.

I think in sports we should "call a tomato a fruit" where at work/school/sociallife we should call a tomato a vegetable is the tomato wishes to be called a vegetable. :)

It does not make sense in sports. Otherwise the women's leagues would become trans-leagues.

which is stupid, because at least with professional sports it deals with 0,001% of population. And in some rando backyard leagues no one cares. Really bad hill to die on.

The issue is that if you get rid of the male/female bracket - you’re going to never see women win almost any sports at all. As soon as men go through puberty - most women are at a significant biological disadvantage. Turns out, some women like sports and like to compete. They don’t want to compete against men because it’s very lopsided and unfair due to biology.

I don't suggest that. I suggest denying trans women opportunity to (professionally) compete. I believe this is inherently discriminatory, but better than all other alternatives.

I also believe this is 99% smaller problem than anyone talking about it believes.

They can still compete with the other men. The only difference is that they won't get the affirmation they crave from competing against actual female women. But that's their own personal problem to deal with in their own minds.
