evidence: Swimmer Lia Thomas has sued swimming’s governing body for discrimination because it has barred her from competing as a trans woman in elite women’s swimming events. [...] Right now, the sports world (and a lot of the rest of society) has made Thomas’ body the problem for her to compete in women’s swimming. That prevents us from having to ask the more fundamental question about how we’ve created sports as separate domains for women and men and reinforced that division to the point we assume there’s something inherent and unchangeable about gender-segregated sports. [...] These, of course, are long term questions that don’t address the issue of Lia Thomas’ place in competition right now. The courts will decide that.
