Of course it is. You can instantly tell the sex of 99% of people from a single glance. And it’s pretty simple to clear up that last 1% with a single brief exchange.
Admitting that you can only get 99% accuracy is an admission that sex isn’t what you’re seeing when you try to guess someone’s gender, and that you think that the existence of trans and gender-nonconforming people is something that can be ignored because our lives are less important than the convenience of your assumptions.

This is not the dumbest statement I’ve heard today, but that’s only because I unfortunately saw a few clips of Trump trying to string a coherent thought together earlier.
I said it’s about sex. You keep bringing up gender. Gender does not matter in sports. It is ABSOLUTELY something that can and should be ignored. No one (except bigots obviously) is attempting to guess anyone’s gender in sports. Sports does not segregate anyone by gender. Or race, or sexuality, or religion…it’s all immaterial.

If this was true then cis women would be forced to compete with trans men, causing exactly the same problems as you hope to ignore by insisting that sports are segregated by sex rather than gender.
If this was true then cis women would be forced to compete with trans men
That’s only not happening because trans men are physically unable to compete with cis men (on average). If there were a sport where cis women had a physical advantage over cis men, and trans men tried to join the cis men league, we’d be having the same discussion.

Wow, I didn’t expect you to make this so easy for me.
To prove your argument, name one example of a trans man who was required to participate in women’s sports without controversy.
As counter-argument, here’s a trans man that was forced to compete in women’s wrestling and won two state championships because he wasn’t allowed to compete with men: https://www.thepinknews.com/2021/06/01/trans-wrestling-mack-beggs-texas-sport-changing-the-game-hulu/
And here’s another article focusing on trans men competing against cis men in sports:

Everything you just confidently said is completely irrelevant.
Let’s start with the beginning of my argument above. Can you name a sport where cis women have a physical advantage over cis men?
