In 1967, a Boston Marathon official nearly dragged a woman off the course after she managed to enter the men's-only race. Five decades later, race officials aren't as concerned about gender boundaries: They're now publicly acknowledging that transgender runners can compete using the gender they identify with.
"We take people at their word. We register people as they specify themselves to be," said Tom Grilk, chief of the Boston Athletic Association, the group behind the race. "Members of the LGBT community have had a lot to deal with over the years, and we'd rather not add to that burden."
At least five openly transgender women are signed up to run the storied 26.2-mile race through Boston and its suburbs April 16.

These marathons are disproportionately won by East Africans. Can a white man self-identify as East African? Would he improve his chances of winning by doing so?
The speed at which the trans-crap agenda has been accepted shows how fast the pedophile movement will be accepted in the near future.
I am willing to go the extra mile for everyone. MEN WOMEN OTHERS.
Easy peasy. Settled science, move on.
CORRECT TITLE: FASTEST WOMAN
And award the title correctly as FASTEST WOMAN.
Let some Judge try to intervene with his fake mandate that violates “free assembly”. Try to Supreme Court it you Judge Jacka$$es.
I am hereby TAUNTING you liberal Judges. Go for it.
The left set up a losers game here for them.
Just privately award the real women’s winner. Easy.
Any young Republicans out there who want to be State Governer? Right here will get you name recognition, free publicity and your choice of a Senate seat or Governor. :-)
If the cuurent brainwashed female winner objects, just repeat next year. Some woman will eventually want her just deserves. The left set their own trap here.
I wish someone would pay all the males that places 15-25 to run as women and thereby claim the top 5 women's spots.
When will someone in the sports world stand up and say that a “trans woman” is not a woman at all and should not be allowed to compete as a woman?
Why not? Women have gained full equality, so males in bras are women. No diff. They can do all womens sports, all womens associations and all womens potties.
Modern women should have no problem with that whatsoever.
This is suicide by the Boston Marathon and any other marathon that does it. Why would any competitive, first class female marathon runners participate if they know that there is no chance of them winning?
“Organizers of the Chicago, New York City, London and Los Angeles marathons all said they honor the gender that runners submit during sign-ups.”
These are the biggies,the ones that the first class runners enter, and they already have accepted the trans runners.
Never. That would be so “insensitive”. We can’t have “insensitivity” now, can we?
Lol
Who says they are mutilated? Under the libs rules they wouldnt even have to shave. They would just, as Shania Twain said, have to feel like a woman.
It will be interesting what this does re: performance enhancing drugs. A biological female would be disqualified for having too much testosterone in her body but a cross dresser with bollocks intact passes muster?
The SMOD cant get here soon enough.
Hoist!
“Members of the LGBT community have had a lot to deal with over the years, and we’d rather not add to that burden.”...........They brought every bit of it on themselves,did they not?

Yeah, they'll put up with the PC crap because if they don't the spoiled brat - eternal ten year old Mark Zuckerberg - will kick them off his team.
Maybe I should sign up for LITTLE LEAGUE baseball. Sure I’m an adult, but hey, I got my rights! Bet I could hit more home runs than those little kids do.
Their word is a lie, so the results are lies. Seems like everyone involved is determined to be more and more fake, while claiming the moral high ground. Meanwhile, people grounded in reality stand way back and watch the delusional self-destruct.
There is no longer a need for male and female teams or sports. Just a race, or an event with males and females competing against each other. One thing will become obvious: men are stronger and faster and better. Then perhaps we can get back to reality. Women are the weaker sex.
Even Hollywood needs to drop male and female categories. Just best actor category. That would shorten those annoying awards shows in tv, movies and music.
i think they prefer to be referred to as 'actrons' now.
