Olympics to change policies and allow transgender athletes to compete

The Olympics are reportedly adopting a new policy that opens the field of competition to transgender athletes.

The International Olympic Committee received proposed guidelines in November from its 'Consensus Meeting on Sex Reassignment and Hyperandrogenism', which allow for broader policies that would include transgender athletes.

Olympic officials have not confirmed the new guidelines, which have already been adopted by other regulatory sports organizations, but the policy is available on the organization's website.

The policy change would be in line with NCAA standards in the United States, which allow male-to-female and female-to-male transgender athletes to compete without having gender reassignment surgery, according to ESPN.

which allow male-to-female and female-to-male transgender athletes to compete

It doesn't take a genius to know that zero female-to-male athletes will be competitive. They just include them to deflect from the ludicrous idea of allowing men to compete in women's events.

[Steely Tom]

What are they going to compete as?

[doc1019]

More kowtowing to queerdom. Sad, so very sad.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

#QUEERLIESMATTER wins again!

[sphinx]

Insane.

[VermiciousKnid]

This is already happening in some sports. Fencing, for instance. (And the REAL women aren’t happy about it at ALL.)

I’ve watched my last olympics.

[Crucial]

Then I’ll stop watching.

“Transgender” athletes have a long and glorious history in the Olympics. They won many gold medals for the USSR and East Germany.

[Fred Nerks]

Should the headline not read:

Men now permitted to compete in Olympic events as women without the need to have their genitals removed?

[arthurus]

Ultimately women will be pushed out of Women’s Sports. It is already happening in some high schools and colleges.

[Chode]

so the girls aren't going to say a word and simply roll over like...

[aquila48]

Will real women complain?

Will they shower together?

[Secret Agent Man]

Kickboxing too. And they don’t like it either.

[Jeff Chandler]

Will real women complain?

Not if they know what's good for them.

[The Iceman Cometh]

This chick is gonna win alot of medals.

[Yaelle]

Finally I can get on that pommel horse.

[Jeff Chandler]

And the REAL women aren’t happy about it at ALL.

Tough. 2 + 2 = 5 now, so they'd better get used to it.
