The Sports Dilemma

Over the last month or two I've repeatedly seen stories of transgender males-identifying-as-females winning sporting events for women. How much of this will it take to destroy all of the progress Title IX has brought to women's sports?

I foresee actual XX chromosome women will be discouraged from participating if they have to compete head-to-head against XY chromosome "women" in women's events. Is this where the society wants women's sports to go?

I'm reminded of the men who took women's roles in traditional Japanese theatrical performances. Japanese women apparently did not perform in dramas. Women's sports could become like that here.
