do u remember when the wider feminist position on gendered sport was that we should abolish it, and that women’s accomplishments can be measured side by side (& indeed, neck and neck) with men’s? what the fuck happened to that? (*whispering* i know what happened. it was the terf movement.)

literally no feminist ever argued for the abolishment of sex segregation in sports. do you people just think sexual dimorphism isn’t real or

Not every sport selects for high testosterone. Some sports have been segregated because when they were mixed women beat men. We also know by now that “sexual dymorphism” isn’t actually the main determinant factor for success in sports, money is. And the fact that women always get the short end of the stick when it comes to access to training facilities, finance, and even investigation into what training methods work best, is not a biological issue but rather a systemic social one. Hope this helps.
