I’m more of the opinion that it should be a height/ weight thing. Or a performance based analysis e.g. you could make sprinter tiers for people within a few seconds of each other based on personal averages. I mean this sort of system already exists for making leagues and tiers right now, we just also split by sex.

I'm not a sports person but it seems like chess and video game match making have had this figured out for a while: just play ranked. Your rank can change at official events, like when you're competing, and everyone gets matched with people around their skill level/ability, with the occasional hotshot rising through the ranks blowing everyone away.

chess discriminates by gender and recently moved to strip trans men of titles earned before they came out when they competed as women

Oh okay, that was a bad example then.

Weight class is already built into wrestling at all levels. If it's such a concern, build it into other sports, like you said.
