If biological differences don't matter we don't need girl specific sports any more.

I agree that they matter very much.

A third gender (ie. India recognizes a 3rd gender) should perhaps participate in sports only against other 3rd gender athletes, as they would naturally beat female competitors (as has happened), and might not be competitive against male competitors.

Hijras in India are nothing to do with western trans culture.

Most Asian third genders are just a way for homophobes to castrate effeminate men. Why would you want to export that homophobia to the West?

Don't base your arguments on one article from a BJP newspaper. That's like referencing OANN, or Fox, or WSJ, etc.

I am not referring to the importation of anything.

If you want to know about Hijras, have a closer look at the available information.

I'm not basing my arguement on one article but on my having studied anthropology.

The article was for your benefit because you are clearly ignorant and have a bad case of noble savage BS which you've caught off of the regressive left.

What the fuck? A bad case of noble savage BS? I learn from Saidit so much about myself, that I'm a noble savage Chinese 'faggot' bot pinko liberal fascist commie. Why would you or anyone have to think about what I am?

A much better source for you than the application of anthropology or India Times, re Hijras:

As an obese couch potato (this is my sexual identity, not male nor female), I am not competitive in any of those three categories. We need one gender for each individual, so 8 billion genders should suffice.

You would qualify as a 4th gender - hermaphrodite - but we're not supposed to call you that. Instead, you would be 'intersex', but this also includes people of the 3rd gender, and could confuse the sex assessment process. When in due course there is a sport for couch potatoes, you may have to petition for your inclusion as a 4th gender. Because - if the sport would include, making yourself pregnant, you would have an obvious advantage over genders 1, 2, and 3.
