I don't think men would want to take hormones just to compete

But would they be willing to turn in falisified copies of hormone therapy, then a single dose to pass the blood test, right before/after competition??

No the article says they still have to take at least a year of hormone therapy.


How will this be tested and enforced?

Bruce/Caitlin could become the first to win in both mens and women's divisions.

Anyone up for winning a few gold medals?


Please, you would get your arse kicked no matter which gender you competed against.

You wouldn't outrun these women


I would love to see you do this:



Or fight her:


Or try to lift more than her:

This may be less ridiculous than it seems. I'm not an expert on the subject but if all the surgery does is change what is between your legs then it has zero impact on your lung capacity, muscle development, endurance, etc.

With all the prepubescent girls? Sounds about right.

I'll opt for beach volleyball myself.

2:07 qualified for the semi finals in the 2012 Olympics. 1:56 was the fastest time in the world for the year. There are high school boys that run that time.

Why even have separate classifications for the sexes? Just get rid of the women's category and make everyone compete in the same event, regardless of sex.

I wish they would. It would be hilarious and the idiots might actually see how stupid this all is.

Well, I mean, every year, MULTIPLE high school boys run faster miles than the world record for women. A record set in the fricking 90s!

So, yeah, you can't just be some schmo off his sofa, but, over time, some "women's" records are going to fall never to be toppled by an actual female again.

If Jenner had "realized" he was a girl when he was 30, he would have set Decathlon world records that would have stood until the year 3000.

And, basically, every female decathlete would have been wasting their time.
