A transgender wrestler who stormed through a competition has been told he shouldn't be allowed to wrestle women because it's 'cheating'. Several people complained that 17-year-old Mack Beggs, of Texas, USA, should not be allowed to wrestle women as his testosterone treatment, which he is taking as he undergoes his transition from female to male, has made him too strong to wrestle women fairly.

I been think on renouncing my citizenship and gender for the benefits I will get from that decision

Kidding but it is such a joke

Isn’t that what the East German Olympics team got sanctioned for?

No difference here in testosterone and say....steroids? Either would be a distinct advantage in wrestling by pumping up strength.

Decadent absurdities are common in modern day America.

Did her treatments cause a new package to grow between her legs? Did it cause broad shoulders, a bigger waist, an adams apple in her neck? If not, she is still a she. And don’t be so bigoted, society is getting what it asked for or kept silent on.

Female high school wrestling? When did that start?

They should use the birth certificate policy AND ban use of supplemental testosterone and other “enhancements” — but I suppose then they would have to get into a whole testing regimen, which would be a huge expense and hassle.

“”””Female high school wrestling? When did that start?”””””

I think it is time for me to identify as a teenage girl and get in on that action.

This in a way reminds me of murderer Oscar Pistorious aka the Blade Runner.

He has no lower legs/feet. He straps on leaf springs. People with and without legs/feet have strapped on leaf springs and can outrun even the best runners with normal limbs.

Somehow because he is a cripple, the PC regulators of the sport allowed him to participate even though he has the spring advantage

If this phenomenon is allowed to continue, women’s sports will cease to exist.

This has nothing to do with LGBT nonsense. Regardless of what sex a sports competitor “identifies” with, if they’re taking performance enhancing drugs of any type, for whatever reason, they should be disqualified.

Testosterone is a steroid.

If I weigh in at 185 can I identify as a 125 pounder?

Definitely. If this poor, twisted girl really thinks she’s a boy, why would she even want to wrestle in a girls’ tournament?

Wouldn’t that be comparable to taking steroids?
