    Gender segregated sports are not the answer long term. Women’s teams are already treated like second class citizens even in sports where there is little biological advantage between the bimodal sex expressions of male and female.

    The best solution I have seen is treating sports like weight classes in boxing, based on whatever advantage criteria there is for that sport. This may still act as a gender segregator in practice, but it allows anyone to compete at the level they are able without questioning their gender identity or sex characteristics.
