We should do away with men's and women's, in sport, changing rooms, toilets, prisons etc, and change it to penises and vaginas.

So we have the 100m for penises, the 400m relay for vaginas etc. Doesn't matter what you think you are, or what you identify as. It's what you've actually got that counts. Problem solved.

The group they were in at birth I'd say.

Semenya is intersex. She has XY chromosomes, but predominantly female anatomy (though thought to have internal testes). How would she fit into your categories?

A testosterone limit on women's sports makes perfect sense to me.

The reason I brought this is that there’s a transgender driving on the leman , what will happen if he or she wins will it cause an embarrassment to the racing world of motor sport or will they just carry on as if it was a normal person!!

Your OP has a valid point but this post above doesn't.

I don't understand. They would stand on the relevant position according to their teams finishing position. With respect to Le Mans what is your point?

Incidentally, in case you are unaware there have been many women participate in the Le Mans 24 Hours over the history of the race https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_female_24_Ho...

Does Le Mans have male/female categories?

So you started this topic because of a transgender person competing in just about the only sport that has an equal footing for whatever gender you are, including the one you choose? Whoever wins will be the best team of humans, whatever they want to be.

Reading other post it looks like there is no place for these transgender, as someone says as they are a new breed put them in the alien Race category. It does make more sense of it but then again they are still boy or girl as they cannot change their Dna 🧬

There can be a testosterone level threshold..over it you're a man, under you're a woman.
