So, women transition to men by taking testosterone and men transitioning to women taking or not taking whatever are all competing against regular girls?

I think the Olympics did institute much harsher maximum testosterone levels for women athletes, but not sure if that solves the problem in a more "PC" way or if it still allows for men to compete as women.


It's all PC nonsense. Under the new rules, Caster Semanya (a real woman born with a birth defect) is banned but a man playing dress-up can compete as a woman.

I think the old rule said you had to undergo SRS and then wait two years.

Yes.

The girl in Texas, Mack, at least petitioned to compete in the boys division but was denied by the Athletic Association so she competed in the girl's division while ripe with testosterone.

She wouldn't have made the State Tournament in the Boy's division.

This is basically the equivalent of taking steroids...an unfair advantage over your competitor...

Why not just create a transgender division if you are so adamant of them being able to compete...

No big deal. The Russians were doing that back in the 50s.

And women's powerlifting (which he used to do before becoming a wrestler and for some time afterwards). Are YOU going to tell him (her) he (she) can't compete?

Why don't we combine all sports since there is no advantage in being a male? Get rid of the WNBA, LPGA, etc.

Russians and East Germany need to have all their medals returned to them.

This matters very little. Considering muscle mass and bone density goes crazy during puberty in males, this is why that shite doesn't matter. It's too late at that point, a male has already far surpassed his female counterpart at that point. I'm loving this.

Until you realize that the people being directly harmed by this are having their life's work wasted for political pandering that has nothing to do with them

Floodgates opening now. You know how many motivated athletes on the cusp will do whatever it takes to win a medal?

This is why the whole "gender is a social construct" concept is unsustainable. If I identify as a woman, why am I required to change anything about my testosterone levels or even my appearance?
Are you implying that my my body chemistry that is behind my full beard and hairy chest somehow makes me less of a woman? How dare you!
I am just a very butch trans lesbian (with a penis for convenience sake) who can kick the arse of any of my fellow woman boxers competing in my weight class.

And just like that,

'women's' sports became completely irrelevant.
