    It already is fair. Trans people are under represented in sports, and mediocre male athletes (after transitioning) are mediocre female athletes. Many cis women have higher T levels then transwomen are even allowed to have (in some leagues at least).

    The real question is do we separate out women with pcos, because they are over represented in women's sports and have higher T levels. They actually have an advantage, but I haven't seen any news stories about it.

      Idk, probably not? Sounds kinda bad. Plus segregation by hormone levels might be deeply silly. Also pcos kinda sucks?

        It wasn't a serious question, I was just pointing out the the things people fear about trans women in sports (higher T levels and "taking over" from other women) are already kinda applicable to another group of women I don't see any fear mongering over. Separating either group out would be silly.
