What it really illustrates though is that the system of gender-differentiated sports is broken in the first place.
No. It's not. A competition between two 150 pound women is about as fair as one can get. A competition between a 150 pound woman and a 150 pound man is going to heavily favor the man.
Maybe the best solution would be a system that better matches fighters based on classes that make more sense, and drop the sex-based classes altogether.
Biological sex and weight differentiation make perfect sense, until we're all forced (under the threat of un-personing) to pretend that there are no differences between men and women.
