I understand your point though.
We have a responsibility to help society adapt and accept these people while changing the way our culture works to allow them to live and function on the same level. We don't have to change the fundamentals of the way we operate sports to account though. Part of the fabric of sports is that the participants begin on equal footing in terms of athletics. Gender matters, natural skills matter. Start messing around with that stuff and we're changing the basics of the games.
