Re: Why isn't Yuletide growing?

[(Anonymous)]

I would go by the metric of "anyone who registers as THIS gender and has done so sufficiently in advance of the competition and has not competed as THAT gender in a specific window of time before the competition".

Because living as a different gender than other parts of society say you are is not something people do at the drop of a hat and it's ridiculous to treat trans athletes' inclusion as a slippery slope that means women's medals and prizes are gonna get stolen by men who couldn't win in their own category.

I don't know how to sensibly and fairly deal with nonbinary folks. Someone else can figure that out.

"Policies implemented by international federations and national governing bodies, along with national legislation in some countries, allow males who identify as women to compete in female sports categories. 28 In other cases, this practice is not explicitly prohibited and is thus tolerated in practice. The replacement of the female sports category with a mixed-sex category has resulted in an increasing number of female athletes losing opportunities, including medals, when competing against males. According to information received, by 30 March 2024, over 600 female athletes in more than 400 competitions have lost more than 890 medals in 29 different sports."
