There's also the hermaphrodites among us who need thinking about too. I am of the opinion that Caster Semenya was badly treated by World Athletics. She, and she is a she, has been discriminated against IMO.

Is the only fair way forward to simply have open football, athletics etc where it's simply your ability at that sport that counts and not your gender, be that "natural" or self identified? IMO, it's not as women would almost never make National, Continental, World or Olympic tournaments.

What's the answer? I honestly don't know. I don't think self identified women should partake in women's sport events as they will have a historical advantage in most sports if they've gone through male puberty. On the other hand they'd be disadvantaged in rhythmic gymnastics or synchronised swimming. Separate categories for the self identified isn't the answer as there would likely be little to no interest and overall quality would not be there. It's a difficult and tricky issue and not one I have the answer to. It might be me but I see allowing self identified trans women to compete against naturally born women is discriminatory to a natural born female athlete.
