We have no policy on this issue at this point.

In general, if a player lives as a man and identifies as male, he is male.
If a player lives as a female and identifies as female, she is female.

I can imagine if it became an issue, sex hormone levels would be the way to resolve it. But again we have no policy at this point.

Not sure I agree, what you are born as, I'll keep it simple. If your born with male body parts your a male, and vice versa. If your born with a male body part and identify as a female that's different. What ever makes you happy.

So then my question is, let's say by some miracle pool tournaments start to have half the prize pools of the PGA tour, and let's say some males can't quite cut it on the male side, so they "identify" as female so they will obviously make a lot more money playing female tour. Wouldn't be fair to the people born as females. So why do they have to have tournaments for only females? Isn't that sexist? Males have to play in open events for most part. If woman want all this equality stuff then they need to fix this aspect. Same for woman's golf why do they get to play the same holes, and instead of it being a par 4 for male, it's a par 5 for females and they get to tee it up closer to hole. Why don't the females want this changed? JMO

That's terrific, but why keep starting threads about the #6 female in the world. Why not a few props for the TOP 5 ?

The obvious answer was in the original post. #6 is the one who just cracked the top 100 overall. The top 5 already did that. So that is why #6 is of note now.

it's interesting because pool seems like a game/sport that females should be able to compete at the highest level. the big difference imo is power shots, but top pros can go several games without having to make one.

i've heard in golf that it isn't actually distance off the tee that separates men from women, it's the short game, which seems counter-intuitive but it may be something with how our brains are wired. Or maybe men can just spin it more idk

Men and women have many differences besides strength. Think about what those are, and then the mystery will become more clear. The short game separating men and women does not sound counter intuitive when you have a better understanding of the differences.

Mile, thank you for your response.
 
Oh, there was plenty of 'simple' in your post.:rolleyes:

You (or i...he or her) should not feel entitled to make decisions such as this. Sports should work with what the gov't works with: what is on an ID.

Tournament directors could check IDs and work with those results.

As far as your 'equal rights' and males permitted in female events...that is ignorant.
Accommodations allow participants to move up, not down.

I'm glad I made it "simple" for you. I didn't want to make it "difficult" for you to comprehend.
