    If actually forgotten the Olympics were over, I did not see a second of it this year :)

    Interesting but not relevant, the NZ team first trans athlete finished last, in weight lifting... Shows that technique and mind work are number one but a bigger man would just have won.

    Perhaps Hubbard was too old starting the hormones to get the psychology under control.

  2. female vs male still based on 5 nmol/L cut off; "girls" are below; "boys" above.

  4. it is all about testosterone; women with naturally high T are allowed; transgender men must keep T down below limit.

  6. What about keeping men out that have bigger shoulders, stronger backs, bigger hearts, bigger lungs, ect than women?

    They could pass a rule to keep trans men-->women out who would affect competitive balance.

    There's a difference between "gender" and "gender identity"

  9. Most trans are basically demented perverts.

  10. Mother Nature builds in small incremental gradations, as is true for colors, sizes, speeds, strengths, and certainly sexual preferences. Transgender has been with us for thousands of years, and is within the 5 sex proposed gender (males, female-like males, true hermaphrodites, male-like females, females) and may much more reflect a nature's expression rather than demented perversion. When female praying mantis copulates it rips off the head of male: natural or demented perversion? Just saying...
