I wonder what they would do if a man turned woman entered a woman’s sport event on national TV.

Thwrefore, the Olympics are homophobic racist pigs

Good point. Sports are about the only activity where women can’t compete on men’s teams and men can’t compete on women’s teams.

Yet they’re one of the biggest cheerleaders for transgender whatever.

Let’s make this fair. Why can’t transgenders compete on the teams of the sex they identify with?

IIRC, there was such a case several years ago. A tranny (man to “woman”) petitioned to play in the LPGA. I don’t really remember the details other than that.

Been there, done that.

Renée Richards (born August 19, 1934) is an American ophthalmologist and former tennis player who had some success on the professional circuit in the 1970s. In 1975 Richards underwent male-to-female sex reassignment surgery. She was then denied entry into the 1976 US Open by the United States Tennis Association, which began that year requiring genetic screening for female players.

She disputed this policy and the New York Supreme Court ruled in her favor in 1977 in a landmark decision in favor of transsexual rights. As one of the first professional athletes to identify as such, she became a spokesperson for the transgender community.
