You could still say 'Serena Williams is killing it this year in Level 14 tennis' if you wanted to.
What is so special about these people that means we should know about them compared to someone of another gender, or no gender, that plays better?
If I'm a terrible player at the moment who can I play against? If I could play against the 14-year-olds I might be able to get a game.
Why not let everyone play according to their ability, not matter what their age or 'gender' or whatever other discriminations we can think of?
I don't really understand your question. We can have as many levels to our leagues as we want. As many women can play as they want. Maybe all the women will be in lower tier leagues, maybe some will be in the higher tiers. Why's that a problem? They're still getting to play the sport with opponents around their level.
Isn't that the point of playing a sport? Playing a game with people who can challenge you. You can still play at the highest tier your ability will support. We can televise a lower tier if we want to. You can still support and follow a lower tier. What's missing from this model in your mind?
You could be the 'only woman in level 4 sprinting'.
And wouldn't it be better for women - if they're able to push beyond other women and also compete with men? There would certainly be men in lower tiers than the top tier women.
We already separate people into performance levels - why not do that irrespective of 'gender'? People would still be able to be 'top' of their performance level, it just wouldn't be called a 'woman' level or 'man' level anymore.
