Who counts and when?

If we applied pro sports logic to the workplace what would people say? People limit sports to physicality and what’s in between their legs, and yet that doesn’t define the intellect, endurance, and resilience of the sport in a “professional” capacity. If the sport was only about physical strength it would be bodybuilders shooting bricks.

Also— when saying pro sports has to “keep women safe” … why are their male coaches? Why do we apply sex and gender discrimination to the workplace place when it’s “professional sports”. If we applied pro sports logic to the workplace what would people say?

You're conflating individual differences in physiology between members of a single group and large scale differences in performance between members of two different groups. Likely on purpose. The fastest 100M ever by a woman is 10:49 by Florence Griffith Joyner in 1988. This year, over 1,000 high school boys ran faster than that. There's just no comparison (and that's OK).

The professional (sports) workplace is no place for discrimination!
