Two British athletes born male are on the verge of making history by competing in women’s events at next month’s Olympic Games, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.
If selected, the unnamed pair will become the world’s first transgender Olympians at Rio.
But worryingly for British sports fans, they have revealed they are so fearful of being exposed and ridiculed under the Olympic spotlight, they would ‘probably drop back’ if they found themselves in a medal-winning position.
Their inclusion in Team GB will be hailed as a remarkable human rights victory – but it will also ignite controversy, with critics arguing that male-to-female competitors have an unfair biological advantage in terms of size, muscle mass and lung capacity.

“Right now, if I were a women athlete I would be wondering if women sports will exist in a few years.”
And, honestly, so what if they don’t? What is there to see, really? It’s a whole lower level of competition. All professional sports should be open to all competitors.
Whenever we get to a point where we feel downcast, I like to joke; "I've read the end of the good book... In the end, we win!"
>>The “Olympics” has become a giant PC farce. I won’t be watching or following any of it.<<
I stopped watching it years ago.
But if it is schadenfreude you want, we can watch the athletes collapse from various illnesses while they try to compete.
Does “Dora” Ratjen get “It’s” Medals back? Sadly the Nazis have now been vindicated for this 1936 Olympic fraud.

I think we've got maybe one more summer Olympics past Rio before the trickle becomes a flood and they might as well pack in the women's divisions. Because at that point, men dressed as women should have most of the world records.
“I hope they win the gold medal...”
Me too. We can hear the noble back story of their suffering and the courage it took to live as transgendered individual. The triumph of adversity to win a medal as women.
Talk about a war on women. Libs harp on it incessantly, yet embrace this make up your gender identity crap.
After all these years of women raising their daughters to be interested in sports just like men are, and to participate in sports just like men do—and now these girls are being edged out of sports by men pretending to be women.
Women cannot compete with men in any venue requiring physical strength. Any industry that requires heavy physical labor is still dominated by men, and will remain so. The only exception was sports, and that was only because there is a separate category for women’s sports. And now women are being marginalized there, too.
What was the old slogan—”You’ve come a long way, baby.”
Mhm.
I guess the East Germans were ahead of their time.
How the HELL far CAN this damned PC go before it collapses? It’s almost getting fascinating...
They already are. Lots of whites with anglo last names are checking the "hispanic" box these days.
Personally, I'm all for it. When everyone is a minority, nobody is.
It’s almost like I need to go move into the mountains somewhere and get away from everything
That is called retreat and it works very well but only to a point. After that point there is trouble.
Women have confused the fact that an elite woman can beat A man (easy) with the concept that elite women can compete with ELITE men, which is ridiculous.
Rachel Dozenal and Shuan King are whiter than sour cream, but self-identify as black... and the black community, the media, and our culture as a whole accept it.
The balance beam and uneven parallel bars will be must watch TV! These are two events that are very penis unfriendly! My guess is these events will eventually be eliminated so men can identifying as woman gymnasts can compete on the women’s gymnastic teams.
We need a new song based on the one "Jolene". Maybe something like, "Joe Lean (skinny homo), Joe Lean!, Joe Leeaaan!!!, please don't take my man...just because he's Pan...".
God is going to destroy us.
Just another example of the left pushing discrimination against actual women. They are trying to make it so only males will dominate in sports again. How “progessive” of them…
What will this mean for the Special Olympics? Heck, I wouldn’t even need a chair to compete with the men if I then identify as a handicapped male!
