No more men’s and women’s league, no more “gender eligibility” requirements, a common dresscode, same standards and rules for all.

Edit: since it looks like people missing the word let: the suggestion isn’t to force desegregation. It’s to allow it or even make it the default. Someone else made a good suggestion: segregate by attributes specific to the sport. In boxing it’s weight class, in basketball it could be height, in biking it could even be doped and non doped. Sex and gender need not be the very first thing to segregate by.

    That’s already how it works. 80kg boxers don’t compete against 100kg boxers, division 1 teams don’t compete against division 5 teams.

    It just means that some teams will be mixed. We might even be surprised at how many teams will be mixed.

      I don’t want to see a 80kg male boxing against a 80kg female. I already know how that is going to end.

        No, you don’t. You haven’t seen it yet. Nor do you know how 100 or 1000 such matches would end.

        It’s also fine if you don’t want to see it. No one is going to force you too.
