The weightlifting story illustrates how women deal with issues of men invading their space - self-excluding - and what happens - no one notices.
Every time this story comes up, some genius man comes up with the stunning solution “why oh why don’t the wimmin just refuse to participate”?
They do exclude themselves, and the men, transmaidens, and people who just don’t care move into those spaces; the women get left out and nobody notices their protest. All that happens is that women miss out on activities they were previously part of.
If all this was affecting men rather than women and children, it wouldn’t have lasted five minutes. The outcry would have been deafening. Instead we get endless comments from men in the media banging on about how we are wasting too much time on the ‘culture wars’ 🤬 It’s taken me a long time to realise just how little we matter.
Interestingly, chess is the field where men are saying we are taking a break from "trans" because women who identify as men might start to claim their grand master status from the women's league now counts as if they'd gone through mens (open) tournaments. There are a few female grandmasters who played with the boys, but they are rare birds.

The men's rights lot want all females pushed back into the kitchen. The sexual rights ones think they make better women, so they win all round.
