The basis of the argument being dominance in these sports.

There's no black vs white division in running. There aren't separate records. There's not a situation that exists where a black person can feel white internally, bleach their skin, and go compete and utterly dominate the white runner category.

There's a weight division in fighting. A heavyweight cannot identify as a featherweight, get in the ring, and decimate people half their weight.

We have a lot of data across lots of sports that show that, while yes black people do statistically better some sports, it is certainly not every sport or super widespread of a difference.

Guess what that same data shows. There is a TON of difference between male and female sports, across the board.

With transgender people being in sports, this situation can exist in real life and when there's huge monetary gain from being a top competitor, as well as changing other competitors legacies, you have to look at all the factors.

There's a cool story where, in 1998, Venus and Serena Williams (ranked 5th and 20th in women's) said they could beat any man in the top 200. Karsten Braasch, ranked 203rd in men's, took up the challenge and beat them BOTH, back to back, 6-2 and 6-1. Allegedly hungover. Also this player was known for smoking a lot. Not that this should be conclusive evidence, but it's still telling
