I don’t see the value in any wide-scale, foundational changes at the professional/elite level.
As I said earlier, the issue isn’t so much a practical or rational one as it is a symbolic one. The prevalence of trans athletes when compared to cis athletes is so small that I believe it could far more easily be solved on a case by case and sport by sport basis. And, if we’re going to solve it on a case by case basis, whether certain sports set limits based on particular biological or physical characteristics, then it should apply equally to men, women, and trans folk.
There’s no science to back up blanket bans, and certainly none that justify bans in “sports” like chess and fishing.
