I think this proves my point more than yours. They improved a lot since 1998.

Hey...if that walks your dog have at it. I think the real point is that females better start standing up and protecting themselves, and their sports against this dystopian mess. They worked for many years to build these things up and it's gonna go the way of the dodo with a quickness.

Ok butters

Why do we never read anything about women transitioning as men in sport?

The strapadictomy isn't as successful as the nip and tuck apparently

 

[Lee Smith]

It's odd that you don't see athletes that were born a biological woman, who have now transitioned to a male, competing at the elite level in male competitions isn't it....

At the end of the day if some fella wants to walk around in knickers and a dress and call himself Judie, thats cool, but hes still a fella.

You've met my dad?

She’s a woman...so she should compete. It may not be fair, but life isn’t anyway because some are taller, stronger faster, so it’s never an equal competition anyway. Weightlifting in particular should be decided by the multiple of the competitors body weight that can be lifted...now that would make it fair, and some small thin lass might actually win....

This is more or less where I’m at.

Wtf is that username about butters?

 

[Woolverhampton_Blue]

All that needs to be said really.

Wow. So salty.

 

[AsiaAsia82]

The world has gone even more mad.
Next there will be a transscouse football manager appointed…

This is what blurring the lines does.

They can still compete in other races due to ridiculous rules.

This should be very, very easy. If these two - and anyone else - are chromosomally XX, they should be able to compete in women's events. If they're XY, they shouldn't.

Caster Semenya, for example, is XY with elevated testosterone levels. She is therefore male and shouldn't be allowed to compete. However, if she was XX with elevated testosterone levels, she should be allowed to compete.

The whole population has big variances in testosterone. That is genetic variance, the same as if you have longer arms or better twitch reflexes. It's an amazingly bad marker to use to disqualify someone from competing.

It's not the trans people who have done this and blurred the lines. I presume you wouldn't allow women who are born with XY to compete at all?
