will the records have an * next to them??? records never to be broken by mere females into eternity
I guess some people will do anything to win.
Real women better start pushing back on this trend to admit trannys.
That, or watch their records fall as biological men win every event in sight.
Where are the feminists? Must be having a hard time dealing with their PC conflicts.
LOL, some gals are getting a reality check.
Ain't "Equality" grand?
I want them (trans) to win EVERY single event in every woman’s sport event!!!
I want this shoved in the liberal women’s faces until they have blood coming from their “whatever”.
They are the primary push behind title IX, all of the bathroom policies and everything else that has been going wrong with society and I want them to be marginalized and sidelined.
Confused male wins women’s weightlifting championship.
Not much point in having a women’s competition if you are going to have men compete.
Those old Soviet Olympic athletes only needed to wait a couple more decades to get away with their cheating, lest anyone be accused of bigotry.
Isn’t that special?
How very queer.
Another step down the road to destroying “women’s” sports.
Hopefully this is waking a few people up to the insanity here.
The only way women can compete in sports is by having separate categories. Therefore, the “transgender” movement can only be interpreted as a way to marginalize women.
I wonder if these idiot “feminists” who embrace the “transgender” movement have any clue just how damaging this is to the concept of treating women like equals. They have been so indoctrinated with the idea that gender is no more than a social construct that they cannot see that once men can take over women’s sports by claiming to be women, women’s sports become history.
Women can still compete in the intellectual arena, but never in the physical arena. We are not, and never will be, as strong as men.
I thought that they had a gay olympics for these confused people to be at.
After winning the title, Laurel was asked what she would do next. “I’m going to Disney World!” she replied, as she headed for the locker room to enjoy a warm soapy shower with the other competitors.
“Men” going where Andy Kaufman refused to go.
How empowering for women.
“You can’t compete against a man”.
“It wasn’t a man, it was a woman, sort of”.
Transgenderism in sports has been a matter of continuing concern. Mere “identification” with a sex is unfair to women, since men are clearly superior in many ways that are advantageous in sports. If merely identifying as female were the rule, women’s sports would evolve into transgender sports and lose its mass appeal. The consequence of this is that there would be one sport, “basketball,” not “male basketball” and “female basketball,” and there would be very few female competitors at the elite level.
The International Olympic Committee recently changed its policy. It now says that transgender athletes who identified themselves as female, would be allowed to compete in that category as long as their testosterone levels were below 10 nanomoles per liter for at least 12 months prior to the competition. It no longer requires surgical anatomical changes.
Working backwards, in 2004, the IOC allowed people with XY chromosomes to complete as female if they had sex reassignment surgery as well as hormone treatment for two years prior. At the time, this was considered an acceptable way of dealing with individual cases, while holding the line on distinguishing male from female competitors.
Going way back, there was a physical inspection, and if you had the external equipment of a man, you were not a woman. This rule allowed persons born intersex, whose parents choose for the male part to be castrated, to live their lives as females, including compete in sports as females. Then came chromosome testing. Then, as I pointed out above, allowing individuals to cross over but only under restrictive conditions. Now, the only concern is testosterone level during one year prior, hardly anything. But, even the testosterone test is flawed, as some women naturally have high levels of testosterone.
Babe Didrikson, the greatest female athlete of her day, provoked concerns about her sex. As she was several times pregnant (but miscarried each time), there is no question but she was female. She was simply a terrific athlete who was something of a tom-boy.
Today we have Venus Williams. With her well-muscled torso and powerful game, she challenges traditional images of female beauty. Yet, a recent fashion shoot showed her to be awesomely beautiful.
Sports isn’t supposed to be fair. At the elite level, it’s supposed to identify such rare creatures as Babe Didrikson and Venus Williams. But, how can we know who is that rare female, versus who is simply a rather average male who identifies as a woman.
Throw out the record books. Stupidity has just voided them.
Well there’s “Fake” news for ya!
How is it possible for people to read this and think “she” legitimately won the Women’s competition?
My wife was one of the first women pilots hired by a major airline. (She ended her career as a B-747 captain flying the in the Pacific.) In 1978, a meeting of a group of fellow female new hires formed an organization - called ISA+21 - http://www.iswap.org/
All was well until they elected a transgender pilot as the group’s secretary. In the first newsletter after the thing was elected, it spent half a page whining - about how tough it was being a woman, and all that (it was hired as a man).
That was the end of ISA+21 for my wife, who had endured the silent treatment (and a few open insults) from more than a few fellow workers and passengers in the early years.
