Should we stop splitting sports by gender and just let everybody compete together?

Same dress code, standards and rules absolutely - regardless if competition is split or not.
Same competition definitely for some sports - chess and shooting come to mind.

More physical sports - I'm undecided there. I'd support everyone competing together if for example weight categories are introduced. You don't want people of widely different physical build competing together, it's not fun either to watch or play.

That's already how it works. 80kg boxers don't compete against 100kg boxers, division 1 teams don't compete against division 5 teams.

It just means that some teams will be mixed. We might even be surprised at how many teams will be mixed.

I don't want to see a 80kg male boxing against a 80kg female. I already know how that is going to end.

No, you don't. You haven't seen it yet. Nor do you know how 100 or 1000 such matches would end.

It's also fine if you don't want to see it. No one is going to force you too.
