This whole thing is dumb. They never should have put "gender" on the entry forms, people just got squeamish about putting "sex".
This was never supposed to be a showcase for your gender, your identity, or anything else. Nobody cares.
M and F categories, based on sex. Which is biological.
Ok, ok, there are those rare but highly impactful intersex or DSD athletes ... so how about an Open category and a Female. Everyone is Open, and you have to qualify (BIOLOGICALLY) as Female.
Done.
If you have a different gender, or if you feel like a different gender, or wanna dress as a different gender, or if your identity doesn't fit into a traditional box ... fine, who cares, that's your business, nobody is stopping you.
But for athletics, there are the Open and Female categories.
Done, fixed.
Oh wait, on second thought ... I feel really old. Guess what, I identify as 100 years old. Time to go smash some age group records.
Actually, no I am a Literalist Born-Again Christian. Converted a few years ago ... looks like I'll be destroying those youth records. Can't wait for middle school!
Oh, wait, no - I am beyond age. It is just a number and I don't identify with that. I am a person without "age" and I refuse to accept society's labels. I want my own non-ageist category! And PAY ME SOME DAMM PRIZES BECAUSE I AM SOOOO SPECIAL!!!
btw I am suing the IOC for being biased and discriminatory against my kind.
