Perhaps a transgender female-to-male league, and a transgender male-to-female league, would make things more fair. Otherwise, you're leaving out a previously-silent, but ever-present demography.

Maybe you shouldn't include them on the mens' or womens' teams. In fact, I don't think you should. But I also think there needs to be a solution that involves including them in sports, in some way.
Who is going to sponsor or pay for these mythical leagues? How will they pay for themselves?

If it wasn't for the NBA subsidizing most of the WNBA, it wouldn't exist... They can't even draw flies to their games...

The WNBA players complain that they don't get paid as much as their male counterparts...

Why should they? The don't generate anywhere near the revenue...

Same with the LPGA...

Same with women's soccer...

The only pro sport that does is women's tennis, and they get the same prize money as men...
