You can't play professional basketball if you are not tall enough no matter how good you are. And not all sports have a physical advantage for men. So I am personally fine with banning trans people at professional levels if other unfair physical advantages were banned as well, for example people born with excess hemoglobin in the blood, intersex people etc. But then you'd just end up with mediocre athletes, because the best athletes are all basically exceptional in some regard. When you devote a lifetime to shaving off a fraction of a second and have a team versed in sport science then it's not all down to talent.
So you need to ask yourself which freaks you want to see performing for your entertainment.
To clarify, do you think women and men shouldn't have separate competitions at all?
I'm just wondering, because if you see being male vs being female as a difference that is just as small as being a person with more hemoglobin than the other, then I don't see why you would think male and female should be separated at all.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
