Here's an example, Mack Beggs, a FTM wrestler from Texas (top in the image - look at the size those arms! )

I'd actually say yes they should for all these .... but the next question is, should these shortlists exist in the modern world, and if so do we need shortlists fot all the 'new' categories that I can't recall!
Were I a female athlete I would be very disappointed if I lost to a MTF transgender as its quite obvious that it is not a level playing field.
Treating transgender people as their intended gender for everything is very challenging.
As posted above the statistics suggest transgender prisoners are far more likely to sexually abuse other prisoners. I would imagine similar will happen in refuges & changing areas/bathrooms. Sick men (and women) will find a way to feed their perversion.
If the decision is based on a completed sex change then that would be ok with the proper precautions.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

These lists have helped balance the sexes and races after a fashion by bringing writers etc. that weren't willing to challenge the men. We have gained some excellent writers because we searched and encouraged them. Maybe a few more BAME and transgender writers would help society? I don't have to read them and as a man I would suggest it is level playing field for competitors if there is a truly equal contest of the winners in the sales figures.

Even then, given the biological advantages that males have had of going through puberty and being naturally pumped full of testosterone, the levels of this take time to drop to a "womanly" level. There are so many girls in the USA being denied college scholarships because they're finishing behind biological males who identify as females. Biden's made it worse for them by actively facilitating it.
There is no way to create a fair comparison. It's apples n pears. It's impossible... So think of something else.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

I'm pleasantly surprised at the votes in this poll (94% "no" at time of writing)
I think probably the most fair way to include "all genders" would be to keep "Women's" sport as "born female, stayed female" (reworded to be as politically correct as possible) and recategorise "Mens" to "Open / All".
If you want/need/decide to change from male to female then good on you and I definitely support peoples right to live how they want to live, but if you want to compete you'll still be competing against the best menComment
