“... I doubt we will see a lot of tranies winning in women’s sports...”

It all depends on how politically motivated the committee is on the IOC. The unfortunate side is they are not a US based group. They are made up of 102 volunteers from all the nations involved. The US has three: Anita L. DEFRANTZ, Kikkan RANDALL, and David HAGGERTY.

And the motivation is not there to even change from the 2016 rules as they tabled it till after the 2020’s in Japan. They’re going to fold up and try to please just as many people as they can to just get along.

An example of them folding is in the summer Olympics in Canada in 1976 when Princess Anne, a member of the British equestrian team, was the only Olympic athlete who did not have to take a sex test as Canada reused to do it and it was ignored. Just put a little pressure on them and they melt.

They don’t need a catchy slogan if they have any brains. It’s so obvious. Do you need a catchy slogan to remember to breathe? Men are not women.

Or you could try “God created two sexes and Remington made them equal.”

“does anyone think Princess Anne is not a woman?”{

Makes no difference, it was done for political purposes, not for the reality of why the rule was in.

Every “woman” should be tested if they test anyone. It doesn’t matter who they are or what they look like in the outside world. They are athletes wishing to compete in a competition that the governing agency says all women athletes should be tested.

And ponder this, if they don’t test people for political reasons does that also mean they are not testing for enhancing drugs? And don’t think countries don’t use them and other things like them. How far will it go?

The Russians were caught impregnating their women athletes to give them an abortion so their bodies would hormone change to enhance their physical capacity.

Olga Kovalenko, a gold medal winner at the 1968 Olympic games in Mexico, confessed to German television that she had become pregnant and had an abortion shortly before the competition to toughen her body and profit from hormonal changes that enhanced her physical performance.

Kovalenko, who competed under her maiden name, Karaseva, claimed that the practice was widespread among champion Soviet athletes during the 1970s. She said girls as young as 14 were ordered to have sex with their coaches if they had no steady boyfriend. In her own case, she added, “I was told that if I refused I would not have been sent to the Games.”

Sunday Times (London, England), 27 November 1994, p. 23.

So this has nothing to do with appearance. It has to do with drug or hormonal enhancement. And it should not have been influenced solely by politics.
