Do you even listen to yourself?
I advocate for the creation of separate categories for those people.
Separate...but equal?
People without legs participate in runs in the Paralympics, and some of their prosthetics are quite bouncy. I wouldn't be surprised if at some point they beat runners with legs using those prosthetics.
I would prefer for them not to compete with "regular" runners because the balance between having legs and bounciness of the prosthetics shouldn't be the deciding factor when determining the winner.
Letting people with prosthetics compete with each other and not with people with legs is fair for both groups.
Fairness in any kind of competition is a weird illusion people are obsessed with maintaining.
Removing categories in sports would result in podiums filled with men, which is a root of that problem.
It is fine if you don't mind it.
I prefer categorization for men, women, trans men, trans women, paralympics, and I would even leave that amusing category of not-tall-man basketball because they in fact cannot compete with tall players but they still can compete among themselves.
Bigots love segregation.
"Those people" Sounds familiar. What were you saying about malevolence and being the oppressors, again?
I'm not a native speaker, and it seems like you hear what you want to hear. My responses were polite, but please continue with your whistle-blowing, it's evident that argumentation is not your strong suit.
I'm not a native speaker either, buttercup. That's no excuse to be the bigot that all your comments on this thread show you out to be.
Call me whatever you want but you're shit at arguing your own points and you're anything but polite. Keep yapping.
