Wrong, most sports don't. Most countries don't. Most countries doesn't acknowledge that being trans is even a real condition.
I saw a documentary of the olympic "spot checks" for potential men competing with women. It's a shit show. They knocked on the doors at the hotels and asked them to show what's between their legs. I guess it's something, but kind of "ad hoc" and likely more undignified than it needs to be.
You literally invalidate your own argument instantly. Countries that do not acknowledge trans people exist obviously do also not allow them to sports, therefore not doing anything that would even remotely resemble an attempt at fair treatment.
And yes, the current "tests" are more often than not a shitshow. That's literally what I pointed out before, cis-women also suffer from this nonsense. However international tournament still do them in one way or another in a really bad attempt at doing something.
I've got enough of this bullshit. If you keep being a transphobic prick ("men competing with women") that prefers the "if in doubt, throw them out" method then we've nothing to say to each other. You evidently preferred to show everyone you're a real dick.
Wrong again. They would be allowed to compete with men. As that is the open class.
