In 2013 the Olympics eliminated wrestling for the 2020 games... Because there wasn't a women's wrestling competition.

In February 2013, IOC members voted to remove wrestling from the Olympic programme; The New York Times cited several potential factors in the decision, including the lack of universally-known talent unlike other sports, and concern for the lack of women's competitions in wrestling (having only introduced women's freestyle competitions in 2004).

Edit: fortunately for us, they reinstated wrestling and added women's wrestling.

Seems like a contradiction.

They could have made wrestling a coed individual sport that is open to all genders.

Legendary Olympic highlights if some woman pops a chub during a match.

On a related tangent:

Japan has a reasonable political policy for trans issues. An evidence-based approach.

Renouncing your gender???

Prove it... Demonstrate your commitment by removing your renounced bits.
Then we'll talk.
