The future of female competition. (Physical competition)

What will happen in the future?

1. Men who say they are women dominate female sports and very few real women make it to the professional ranks.
(Colleges and High-schools are suffering from this already)

2. Gender is eliminated and men dominate sports.
(Fight sports and contact sports will be interesting and we could possibly see casualties on live TV)

3. A new category where men, women and "the rest" are separated to make it reasonably fair where your "identity" is irrelevant and biological tests are used to classify where you play?

So...College sports were the first to allow men who identify as women to enter the female class and they are taking all of the medals and trophies.
High-schools started doing that and now biological men are literally stealing scholarships from biological females.
Plenty of women are complaining and plenty of news articles have covered this ongoing problem. (Links below 😉 )

Eliminate gender?
I'll admit some woman can play in men's sports depending on the situation or position.
The NHL had a female goalie play one game and after she let in 6 goals they benched her for good. It wasn't her gender that prevented her from playing that position. She wasn't good enough.
College football has a female kicker and that position is playable too and the Williams sisters could play against men in pro tennis but I doubt they would do very well. Etc. Etc.

So what will happen?

Will you watch female sports if the whole team are actually dudes?
Will sponsors pay?

So why are Trans "women" dominating in female sports?

Because they are men competing against women.

She is a woman. (I think)

Not a dude who says he is a woman.

@Duchess64

Girls losing scholarships to dudes is a big deal.

I'm not saying they can or can't.

I'm asking about the future.

Will you watch female sports if the whole team is biologically male but identifies as female and they play another team that is biologically female?

No you wouldn't.

Lowering your testosterone does not change your other male attributes like bigger bone structure and bigger lung capacity and bigger heart.
It is unfair to real women and if something isn't done then women's sports will fail.

I feel sorry for the women... the real women.

lose a scholarship...? that's just not right. Maybe a 3rd category, men, women, trans??
