I think every person that gets said surgery will try to compete in "womens' leagues". The standard will be quite absurd in that at some point even the penis can stay and he'll still be called a woman. Because, to the transgendered, they are whatever sex they believe themselves to be.

But, just as it only takes one guy on steroids to make a competition laughable, it only takes one "woman" with a man's upper body strength to ruin women's golf, tennis, ...

Fallacy. Anyone that undergoes an HRT regime within a five year period loses significant 'short-muscle[the bulk muscle]' mass in that time. In fact, without testosterone a person cannot grow significant portions of 'short-muscle' mass no matter how hard you train, all you do is improve your 'long-muscle[endurance muscle]' mass capacity. So to say this woman has an advantage in strength is bunk.

You can make a case through height since that is necessary for a significantly longer swing for long drives in golf but not strength.

Also, to contend she's not female, well DUH she's not. Many transgendered folk are not here to change sex but to realize their identity. I find it amusing when people that seemingly are assured in their own identity attack those that finally realize theirs.

Also on the adam's apple, I know mothers with bigger ones[and no they're not second chins] than me. In fact, I don't even have one as a male[and transgendered] myself. :)

So I suggest you study up before posting fallacies again. :)
