You somehow did not really comment on the other issues I brought up?
So, what about professional sports? How do you solve the obvious issue that allowing transgender people born as men would give them an unfair advantage in most sports if they could simply choose which gender they play for? How do you fight the obvious potential for abuse that a man could simply claim to be a transgender in order to play for the women's team in professional sports? Or, if completely eliminating gender segration as you suggest, it would obviously be illegal to have female leagues in sports, there could only be unisex leagues - which would in practice result in women more or less being excluded from professional sports. Is that such a good idea?
And what about changing rooms and shower rooms in swimming pools, gyms etc.? If the girls are hot, I'm sure most men wouldn't mind freely choosing the changing and shower rooms - or having unisex changing and shower rooms as a necessary result of eleliminating all gender segregation. But I severely doubt most women would be happy about that...

Well, I'd support unisex leagues too. And as I said, I'd generally be fine with unisex change rooms, but sexism is still a big problem in our societies so it is not feasible at the moment.

Mmmh, Still feels like you're simply avoiding the questions about some the issues I'm talking about.
When it comes to sports for example, hardly anyone would have a problem with the general existance of unisex leagues - but if you seriously wanted to eliminate gender segretation, ONLY unisex leagues would obviously be allowed. And in almost all sports, there are hardly any women among the world's absolute top players (which is actually interesting, because that even holds true for sports like darts or chess where men do not even have any physical advantage). So completely eliminating gender segregation in sports would practically result in women more or less being excluded from professional sports. Not because they would be forbidden from participating, but because extremely few women would be able to compete with the top players.
