No more men’s and women’s league, no more “gender eligibility” requirements, a common dresscode, same standards and rules for all.

Edit: since it looks like people missing the word let: the suggestion isn’t to force desegregation. It’s to allow it or even make it the default. Someone else made a good suggestion: segregate by attributes specific to the sport. In boxing it’s weight class, in basketball it could be height, in biking it could even be doped and non doped. Sex and gender need not be the very first thing to segregate by.

      What do you think would happen if the best NBA team played the best WNBA team? I think the men would win.

      What do you think would happen if professional basketball was mixed? I’d imagine the teams would be 90% men.

      Also, if track and field records are any indication, men are strong and faster. Separate divisions are more fair.
