...their new gender has been legally recognized and they have gone through a minimum two-year period of postoperative hormone therapy.

Lemme get this straight: in the eyes of the Olympic Committee, she-males/he-womyn can take hormones to alter their bodies, but men/women can't take steroids to alter their bodies?

Thus self-destructs the idea of meaningful competition. How can a woman compete with someone who grew to full stature under the influence of male hormones (bone and muscle structure, etc) even if he has been taking female hormones for the past two years?!?
