Transgender British athletes born as men set to make Olympic history by competing in the games [tr]
UK Daily Mail ^ | July 2, 2016 | Sanchez Manning and Ian Gallagher

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.

“Trans > Women in Sport”

Yep. People born as men will learn soon enough how to play the “I identify as woman” card and compete and win at women’s sports at all levels.

The Williams “sisters” have gotten away with it just skirting the issue (no pun intended) all these years.

Adios women’s sports. They will all be trannies in 10 years.

This, on top of male transgender teens winning awards in female track high schools in this country.

I say “good!” Maybe people will finally see the idiocy in refusing to recognize that there are differences between the BIOLOGICAL genders, irrespective of this insane gender self-identification that we’re supposed to refer these days.

Stop the madness!

Every day I hope to wake up from this nightmare we are living in. How is this the real world now? How is it possible that we celebrate mental illness and proclaim it as normal and even preferable? We homeschool my daughter, go to a conservative LCMS church, and yet she is still being indoctrinated with the “LGBT” rights crap from friends she knows, from music, from TV, the culture in general, etc. I feel like I am fighting a losing battle. She went to a Christian sleep away camp with a friend a couple of weeks ago and came home and told me one of the girls in the cabin introduced herself as a “pansexual” and said she wanted to be talked about as the pronoun ‘they’. WTH? I didn’t even know what pansexual meant and had to look it up. These kids were 12 and 13 in her cabin. I was horrified and didn’t think crap like that would be going on at a Christian camp. It’s almost like I need to go move into the mountains somewhere and get away from everything and everyone. So depressing.

If athletes are so strictly restricted for drug use that the whole Russian track team can't compete, how can these pharmaceutically-engineered freaks of nature be allowed to compete?

To add to all the problems of the Summer Olympics, it will now be a freak show.

There is money to be made for men pretending to be women in sports.

Yes, its women sports. Not transgender sports. If there are 71 gender status’ according to Facebook (who seems to be on top of these things). Women’s sports is just one status, women. The reason women sports exists at all is because women compete without a huge amount of testosterone in their body, a big disadvantage from men. It really does not matter what their dress or genitals look like or how they act. Its the level of testosterone. We used to designate the male/female divide by the presence of a Y chromosome. But we have learned this is old school. Some people have XXY and things like that. Right now, if I were a women athlete I would be wondering if women sports will exist in a few years.

"Born as men"

AKA 'men'.

"...will be hailed as a remarkable human rights victory"

Only by the morons in the media.

>>I hope they win the gold medal in every sport they compete in<<

Agreed.

Let’s face it: very few women’s sports are worth watching, especially the strength sports. I will absolutely LMAO when those sports fill up with trannies and the womyn who worked so hard for Title IX are hoisted on the petard of pliical correctness.

Sauce for the goose.

This is good news. In my heart, I’ve always been a female wrestler. I hope no hateful bigots would keep me out the sport.

The “Olympics” has become a giant PC farce. I won’t be watching or following any of it.

The sad thing is I no longer care much about the Olympics. The last summer games in London I watched a bit of the opening ceremonies and that was it. It will likely be the same with Rio.

These two things must be exposed. Anyone with a brain can go back and see what, “baby pictures” look like. The roster of athletes will be published in all the sports. So just do basic research. These two are an affront to real women athletes. My son’s girlfriend is a volleyball player. I feel bad for her because of this PC cheating.
