I believe the problem is never showing evidence, but that the evidence is overwhelming. I could explain the general idea and, maybe, one or two specifics. People that use the XX/XY binary argument wouldn’t be able to explain either, but it’s usually only used because it conforms to a bias. And we are only talking about humans here. Language would implode if we tried to maintain convenient binaries and still back it up with science.
So where do we draw the line in sports?
We draw the line by weight classes and/or muscle mass, not by what’s in person’s pants. It doesn’t have to be just 2 categories or the same categories for every sport, either.
I don’t know. Sports conventions are not science. When I see the history of things being banned or allowed, it doesn’t always make sense. Then we have stuff like weight categories. Anyway, that’s beside the scope of this particular discussion.
Chess has 2 devisions women’s and everyone why all top chess players male then? Most basketball has he same arrangement why only men in best teams why no women?

No need to use a slur. Say careless or misremembering instead.
I should have the right to refer to myself however i want. Insert the same argument about bodily self autonomy here.
This is not the same. This is like shouting a slur on a bus. Even if you aimed it at yourself, it can still cause harm to those around you.
It’s almost like the current sports categories are also a social construct
So why no women at heigh levels in the open divisions.
