They want equality in sports as long as they don't have to compete with men.  That's not equality.  And now, since their sports are "women only," they have to define what is a woman.

The LPGA has increased their purses (no pun intended) to the point that second place in last week’s tournament won over a million dollars. The first time ever. While I applaud the effort and am happy to see the ladies pulling in bigger prize money, the question is how long will this be sustainable. LPGA tournaments simply don’t pull in the spectator and sponsor money that men’s golf does. One sponsor even had a commercial saying they were going to increase the viewership and popularity of the LPGA to make it more “equitable”. But how? Men’s sports have always brought in more money and spectators because men are (cover your ears, lefties) bigger and stronger, thus are capable of greater feats of athleticism. 

I sincerely hope the LPGA can keep the purse money higher. However, it just seems artificial and unsustainable in the harsh glow of the woke movement.
