I’m just picturing that robot from Star Trek (the one thinking about “this sentence is false”) going “huh” and then blowing up…

    I literally said it wasn’t a perfect solution, just that it would solve these silly gender scandals. I stand by it.

      It would solve one gender scandal. The next one would be people complaining that there are no women in sports anymore.

      And then we’d circle back around and have to segregate the genders in sports to give women a chance to compete.

      And then when a woman stands out in her field, they’d start accusing her again of being a man.

      A little late, but I think I have a reasonable solution to the genderless weight class classification.
      Measuring the hit force of athletes for sports like boxing could work. Not sure how viable that is in real world applications, with human nature and all, but it seems reasonable to me. If the issue is men on average hit harder than women of similar builds, why not just classify by hit force instead?
