Sure, but he wasn't talking to a board for really fast male high school runners was he?

I am 100% certain they will. Also, if a woman wants to compete as a man, say in gymnastics, then she'd be taking testosterone, right? A banned substance in Olympics.

So now we are discriminating against heterosexuals (edit: sorry gender NORMAL) by allowing only transtesticles to shoot up?

I was a 2:07 800 guy in high school. I'm sure as a fully developed adult I could run faster.

I realize that.

That said. The gap between male and female performance is rather substantial.

While not super likely, it is not exactly beyond the pale to suspect there are men on this board that could outlift any woman in their weight class. Not exactly beyond the pale to suspect there may be a man or two on the board who would be fast enough to qualify among women.

Not us 40 somethings like me, but, there almost certainly some former high school and college athletes on this board that are still young. They might not WIN in the Olympics among women.

The qualifying time for the women's 1500m is 4:06.(about 4:24 per mile)

I used to work with a gay guy in the Army who could run better than 4:24 every week if you'd asked him to.

It's going to happen. When? I dunno. But some tranny is gonna drop a record in female track that is going to piss women the frick off.

Not technically the same, but it has sort of already happened with Caster Semenya.

I'm aware.

My point is that one day, some dude that is straight up legit is gonna become a "girl" and just blow the world record up. It is bound to happen eventually.

And, when it does. I'm just gonna laugh my arse off.

Plus he forgot how to drive properly.

Think about it though. There's no honor in winning a woman's medal if you are a man. What you are saying is that you weren't good enough to beat other men, so you had to beat women.

That's like cheating and getting in the special Olympics when you aren't disabled.

Sure you might win, but you can't really gloat over it.

should be no difference in gender in sports

Phillies race with stallions on the track all the time.

Female boxer hit harder than equal height/weight male Boxer


claiming a difference is an insult to what women have the ability to do.

It's like the 4 min mile, women are told that they can't compete and they create the difference.
