The International Olympic Committee (IOC) reaffirmed its full support of transgender athletes Friday when medical director Richard Budgett declared “transwomen are women” and should be included in women’s sport “when we possibly can.”
“After 100 years of promoting women’s sport, it’s up to each of the international federations to ensure that they try and protect women’s sport,” he told a briefing in Tokyo. “Science will help, experience will help, and time will help.”
Budgett spoke as New Zealand weightlifter Laurel Hubbard prepared to become the first openly transgender woman at the Olympics when she competes in the +87kg category on Monday, as AFP reports.

The 43-year-old was born male and competed as a man before transitioning to female in her 30s, taking up the sport at elite level again after meeting IOC guidelines for transgender athletes and sparking a global response.
New Zealand Olympic Committee spokeswoman Ashley Abbott said Hubbard was keeping a low profile in Japan, despite the “particularly high level of interest” in her Olympic debut.
While she acknowledged Hubbard’s appearance raised complex issues, the AFP report said Abbott also pointed out: “We all need to remember that there’s a person behind all these technical questions.”

Do you seriously believe that? What has happened up to this point that would make one think that people that are pushing this will change their minds? They are called "delusional people" for a reason.
The best we can hope for is that some Soccer mom who is more worried about what her neighbors think about her than the truth will look at this as ask herself, "Has this gone too far?", with no guarantee that her answer will be "Yes".

“What has happened up to this point that would make one think that people that are pushing this will change their minds?”
The people pushing this are very vocal, but still a small minority. I’m talking about the people who just go along with the crowd because they’re sheep. When something like this is in their face, with a fat slob of a man winning a women’s olympic gold medal, they might, just maybe, decide it’s gone too far.
What about the trans women?
How come they never compete? Aren’t they women?
Exactly! But why on earth don’t they???
They spend years training and competing for one shot and they want to try for a Silver or Bronze metal.
Trans women should just take over all women’s sports and actual women should go bake cookies I guess.
Hi. Today, I’m self identifying as a black female lesbian.
Okay, if that doesn’t work, I’m self identifying as a white female lesbian.

So you’re not sure of your race, but you’re definitely a female lesbian. As opposed to a male lesbian.
LOL.
