But women would still almost never win anything. Even trans women notably underperform the scores they had prior to transitioning.

if that's the case, then my idea sucks. i think it would have the opposite effect, though.

the average height of a WNBA player is 6'0''

if we allowed men under 6'0'' tall to play in the WNBA would the men have a competitive advantage? I don't think so.

do men who weigh exactly the same (or even a little less to compensate for boobs being "dead fighting weight"), and are the same height as said women have a significant combat advantage?

imagine a woman your weight and height and she also does MMA, would she not utterly destroy you?

that's why it's not uncommon to hear about girls on high school wrestling teams: they are competing in a weight class, and even if there might be some disadvantages, the competition is still meaningful as a result

one problem with this system might be a lack of players, but that hasn't stopped wrestling, plus more people (i.e. smaller) would get to compete in sports that they could never compete in.
