Yes, it was initially about LPGA golf, but this post has evolved.
I am not aware of any gender specific softball leagues in TV. Neighborhood softball on Saturdays is often coed.
TV 'men's' leagues are comprised of Divisions with teams within. There are a finite number of players on each team. Typically 12.
Managers traft players based on criteria such as ability and statistics. Other factors of a personal nature come into play. Such as friends, golf or poker buddies. Whatever.
The result is that not everyone who signs up gets on a team. They can substitute or elect to move down to a lower division that must accept them, for one season only.
It can be a cold experience for some players to be 'rejected'.
Point being does a physically gifted transgender qualify to knock of a woman in a 'women's' league? I'm sure it's all kumbaya until someone gets booted off.
