Female Athletes Face Unfair Competition

 Teen athletes have traditionally been  classified as "boys"  or "girls" so that  girls can participate in sports without having to compete against  boys who are usually stronger  and faster than girls.  This system worked as long as everyone agreed on which athletes were girls and which athletes were boys.  Today some disagree about who qualifies as girls and  who qualifies as boys.

One thing hasn't changed.   There are   two different genetic types  of  athletes.   One type has two "X" chromosomes.  The other has an "XY" combination of   chromosomes.     Athletes   who   have an "XY" combination of   chromosomes are usually stronger  and faster than  athletes who   have  two "X" chromosomes.        

To   insure  everyone  an equal  opportunity to participate in sports  athletes who   have an "XY" combination of   chromosomes should not  compete against  athletes who   have  two "X" chromosomes.   The  "XY" combination  provides an athlete a  benefit   equivalent   to using  a performance enhancing drug.   Allowing   those  with    the  "XY" combination  to  compete against  athletes who   have  two "X" chromosomes  is  the  equivalent of  a  rule  that would  arbitrarily  allow one  group  of  athletes to use  a performance enhancing drug while prohibiting  other  athletes  from using  the  drug.
 
Boxing has long  used  a  weight   classification system to   provide  lighter  weight boxers with an  opportunity  to participate without having  to  face unfair  competition from significantly heavier  boxers.   "XX" chromosome  athletes deserve comparable protection   so  they don't  have to  face unfair  competition from stronger  and faster  "XY"  chromosome  athletes.  
       
  The   "Y" chromosome can be detected using a microscope   because it is shorter than  the  "X" chromosome.     Thus   it would be easy  to divide athletes into "X" and   "Y" groups.

     Athletes might  want to give the groups  names like  "Xenas" for Xena: Warrior Princess and "Yodas" for  the .Star Wars  Jedi Knight
