Were you born with a vagina or a penis? Right, the question is none of my damn business, so why doesn’t the rest of society accept this fact? Being female or male does not make a difference in all areas. Think about sports such as basketball, football, ballet, and swimming. Do you remember the story regarding the transgendered swimmer (born a male and transitioned into female)? She was the topic of a national debate because of her personal choices. People were suggesting that she shouldn’t be allowed to swim on the women’s team for various reasons such as not being born a female, having testosterone and being able to physically perform stronger and better and other issues. This is not a disadvantage because if this is the case, then someone can find fault in any sport. For example, I’m short and can walk under a volleyball net depending on the height, or my husband shouldn’t run in a race because he is 6 feet 6 inches and has longer limbs than most people. Aren’t there some women that are stronger than men, but they are not condemned for it. For example, Rhonda Rousey is stronger than the average man because of the training and profession that she is in, but that doesn’t make her less of a woman or more of a male. The qualifications for sports has nothing to do with what is between your legs. It should be based on your ability to perform at the best level that you are able to without any enhancements. Everyone is entitled to enjoy any sport. I have a vagina, but why is that your business? So, to those ignorant and closed minded people, please dial 1-800-GO2-HELL!
Unruly Bodies 
You clearly see that a person’s gender and physical characteristics at birth have no bearing on athletics. The debate around a transgender swimmer is a prime example of how society is obsessed with gender roles. Your insightful analogies, like Rhonda Rousey’s strength or volleyball height, highlight the subjectivity of arguments against varied participation. The outmoded emphasis on gender and support sports qualifications based on individual achievement without undue advantages.And the appeal for inclusivity resounds loudly, sharply criticizing narrow-minded viewpoints.
Totally get what you’re saying. It’s just wild how people still get hung up on whether someone was born with a certain body part. Like, why does it even matter when it comes to playing sports? That swimmer situation was blown out of proportion. I mean, we all come in different shapes and sizes. Short or tall, strong or not, it’s all part of the game. The bottom line is to let people enjoy sports without making it about what’s in their pants.
Sports have always been supposed to be a celebration of what the human body is capable of. The way different identities who participate in sports have been politicized is a reflection of how our society fails to accept that people can be different and those differences deserve celebration, especially when they push the boundaries of what we previously thought should be possible. It has never made much sense that sports are divided by gender for any biological reason when people have proven time and again that we will never know the limits of what we can do unless we test it.
