She participated in a male olympic event.

Participating in an Olympic event outside of your gender is against Olympic rules.

There is also the case of an East German woman shot putter who was so pumped full of steroids that she became manly enough to have to change her sex.

In her defense, I think it was a case where she didn’t know what her coaches were pumping into her.

Google Heidi/Andreas Krieger for more.

But at the time — almost 40 years ago — Jenner was a guy.

I guess with everything else going on in this world, when it comes to Jenner, my giveacrap meter is broken.

OK people, I get it. You don’t agree with what he did, neither do I, but when he competed in the olympics he had a penis. He managed to beat all of the other penises in his event and won a gold medal. I’ve said it before, but making an argument like this keeps people from taking you seriously in the future. This is an asinine petition that just makes republicans look like idiots. Just my opinion on the matter.

Do the rules say gender or sex (as determined by chromosomes)?
