    He wants to introduce weight classes for sports that already have them.

    I was guessing, since it doesn't make much sense to have weight classes only for transgender people.

    I notice you didn't want to answer my question. What is your proposal? Heavy transgender people compete with men but light ones compete with women?

    That adds so many more problems than it solves.

    Well, that's a good idea then! We should definitely do that.

    you were guessing. Without a question or a quote…no passive aggressive sarcasm at all right?

    okayyy…..

    To answer your question, no.
    Leave it just as it is for individual sports like swimming.
    But add weight classes. Women vs women and men vs men. With weight classes.

    I thought mentioning boxing and wrestling previously would have indicated this was my suggestion…i apologize for not being more clear.

    Again, I just don't see the need to restructure sports at every college or university with a swim team because of one transgender person.

    I am 100% on board with Trans athletes competing against men. That's where they should be.

    Wouldn't it be fairer to instead of using weight we use BMI and buoyancy?

    To find the force of buoyancy acting on the object when in air, using this particular information, this formula applies: Buoyancy force = weight of object in empty space − weight of object immersed in fluid. The final result would be measured in Newtons. Air's density is very small compared to most solids and liquids.

    Actually I asked a question in each of my posts. You just chose not to answer them (until now).

    But why is weight even a relevant measure of fairness in swimming? Much less track and field...

    Weight classes in sports based on physical strength targeting an opponent directly makes sense. Boxing, wrestling, etc. Weight classes in sports like swimming and track make absolutely no sense what so ever. Its not a sound solution. It creates likely way more problems than there already are.
