Several teams of female gamers have dropped out of the Dead by Daylight Women’s World Cup after trans women were banned.

    If you have to justify it based on sociological and cultural reasons, that’s not a good example cause at that point one could use the same arguments to justify racial segregation.

      That’s a crazy comparison to make. Segregation excludes people while women’s sports includes people. Many “men’s” leagues are actually just open. The only reason women don’t join is due to sociological and cultural reasons. As women integrate more into the culture, women’s leagues are less and less needed since the women who want to compete will prefer the open league. It’s an inclusive force.

      Frankly, if you start by trying to include women and end up segregating based on race, I question whether you were ever working in good faith.

      Tbf I don’t think there should be mens leagues. Just an open league. So i don’t entirely disagree. But regardless that is supposed to be the point of having separate leagues.
