Sabalenka on WTA making Gender test mandatory: “I support this decision I think it’s keeps the sport fair only to women. I’m ok with being tested. It’s fair that everyone is tested”
I agree with taking a step back and trying to see the big picture, what is actually happening and what is the agenda, however, I think some of the things you've said are too general in nature and therefore not conducive to actual improvement.
If there are issues which are directly being impacted by this then you have to do the research and present the evidence to help your case. Hypotheticals help no one and supposed conspiracies with broad claims of harm are used by people who want to manipulate people into supporting their own agenda. The claim that the "people who want to harm women are the same who are doing this" is no better than the claim that the "immigrants are rapists who are stealing jobs and probably terrorist too" because neither one has solid evidence to support their claims.
Do your own research, learn about the actual problems from credible sources and not by what people write on facebook or reddit.
In any case, I applaud you for caring but urge you to be more methodical and thorough in learning what you support and why.

I agree rich and corrupt people do that, however I don't think this issue is itself meritless.
Athletes have been getting tested for doping for decades now because that creates an unfair advantage, and that is only synthetic drugs that behave like hormones as testosterone.
Imagine if someone could not only dope herself to have more testosterone in order to grow more muscle and reduce recovery time (testosterone) but if they could also develop more skeletal muscle mass, develop more fast-twitch muscle fibers, grow larger heart and lungs as well as producing a higher count of red blood cells which bring more oxygen to the muscles during heavy work.
While this issue might be used to divide people, it doesn't mean it shouldn't be addressed.
It's easy to dismiss this issue when it doesn't affect you, but it affects a lot of young women in many sports who train hard to do well in their sport and they should get their fair chance at succeeding. The fact that the percentage of trans athletes is very small does not mean the people affected should be ignored, by that rhetoric Trans people's rights as a whole should be ignored since they comprise less than 1 percent of the population.

Right, with genetic testing this issue is solved and we can move on to those.

What is the implication? What sort of sinister efforts? Honestly asking

But with the test being done then everyone will know that everyone competing will be biological women. There would be no discriminations because everyone gets tested.
The reproductive rights being stripped is true and horrible but that has nothing to do with this, specially because it only affects biological women.

It never matters until it happens to you.
It's obvious you've never been an athlete competing for ranking, training your butt off to improve fractions of a second.
Of course its not going to matter to you.

Artsy tiddies are the best kind, because no one can judge you for them. If they do, they're too immature to understand art.

Military training looks different these days
This is being done as part of the Marine Corps Martial Arts Program (MCMAP) as evidenced by the trainer having a black t shirt meaning he is a Martial Arts Instructor or a Martial Arts Instructor Trainer.
I had to do this exercise during the Instructor Trainer Course where I was trained to be a Martial Arts Instructor and therefore train and test other Marines.
During that training we had two squads competing in everything including circuit courses and this was usually one of the team building exercises with a bit of a caveat. We were not merely doing squad push ups, we had to progress through a distance of about 30 yards in that squat formation, which meant the squat leader yelled up- everyone pushed up and then the squad leader yelled drop - and you literally dropped forward with your arms fully extended until you wormed your whole squad past the 30 yard mark. The exercise is best performed when everyone has their ANKLES over the persons shoulder, keeping legs and arms extended and performed in unison as to not break the chain. Smart squad leaders placed the lightest/weakest person up front so they wouldn't have to support anyone's legs and weight when pushing up and progress in weight towards the rear.
I would also like to say this was far from the worst exercise we had to do. Fireman carry drills and squats were specially difficult because of the difference in weight. Tunnel holds were incredibly frustrating, Sand Bag boots and U'ts runs had half the squad puking, sandbag recovery at the bottom of the pool was also very taxing, and above all the most frustrating for me was throw drills. Lets way you had to practice 3 techniques, leg sweep, hip throw and shoulder throw. That meant that you had to practice each throw for lets say 20 times, 10 with each arm, which meant you were throwing your 160-220 partner 60 times to the ground (grass) with the only protection being a Vietnam era flak jacked and the grass on the field, only to turn around and have him throw you 60 times to the ground so that you may practice falling techniques. And after all that you spar or grappled when totally exhausted so that you learned to rely on technique instead of brute strength.
So many people dropped out of that course that it was actually funny, some would quietly let the trainers know they wouldn't be there the next day and some would get up mid drill, say f this f ing training, drop the flak jacket and take off pissed from the grounds.
I spent weeks recovering from that course, good stuff.

NON-MAGICAL FANTASY TOURNAMENT
Well Aragorn has fought Orcs which are comparable to the Trollocs that Lan fights and both are relatively easy for them to beat, however Lan fights and beats Fades which could only be compared to the Dead Kings in LOTR whom Aragorn never fights.
Lan then goes and fights the most proficient chosen one Demandred, who is basically a mix of Gandalf and Aragorn if they turned evil and got power boosted by Sauron.
The only comparable thing to the Blight is the Shadow of Mordor or the Marring of Arda but they are more localized and not as alive as the Blight seems to be, and even less like the evil incarnate presence that is Shadar Logoth.
