Solution is simple.
Make a transgender category (just one)...you a guy, you can play; you a trans guy, you can play; you a girl, you can play; you a trans girl, you can play.
No keeping score.
Now AOU has a place to play. Hooray.
That would work if trans athletes really wanted to compete on a level playing field. I'm not willing to assume they are. Everything I'v seen so far tells me they want to compete where they think they can win.
Actually, it would work fine.
They have the ability to play ... but they cannot demand to play on a certain team.
It would be a perfect solution.
Or eliminate sports all together.
I see where you're going with this. Each athlete gets the same choices; men's, women's, or "open."
Or they're wanting to compete where they can get the most attention. These people are attention whores and any attention is good attention. They don't give a damn about sportsmanship or fair play, they don't care if they're universally hated, they just want people to notice them.
Or they're wanting to compete where they can get the most attention.
Good point!
