Does the individual have a uterus?
Yes = individual is female.
No = individual is not female.
Of course, there are abnormal cases, (hermafrodites, intersexed), so it doesn't apply to everyone, but it does apply for the overwhelming majority of individuals.
Sure. We all know them. However, in sports competition, individuals are matched as close as possible to their physiological and skill equals. That's why fighting sports, for example, have weight classes that differ by 5 lbs. of body weight.
So sure, Amanda Nunes, at 145 lbs, she can probably kick the arse of most any man you know. But if she goes against Max Holloway, she gets destroyed.
Exactly. And this is the same as Billy Bob, a 325 lb male saying he identifies as a 175 lb male so he should be able to compete in the 170-190 lb weight class in wrestling. That's a grossly unfair advantage being give to him.
It's just simple physical biology. On average, females have less muscle than males, so it's straight forward unfair to have individuals with male musculature compete against individuals with female musculature and pretend that is a level playing field. It's every bit as unbalanced and unfair as having people competing out of their weight class.
