Hyperandrogenism Woman Set for Gold in the Olympics....

Whats the problem?

Women want equality, there ya go.

Femenist say women can do anything a man can do, so there ya go.

It is just a matter of time before "transgender" men who are pretending to be women compete.

So liberals, what now?

Here ya go

Ask yourself this, why do they split the sexes in sports? Many assume the answer is that we always split the genders, but people seem to forget why.

Here is a quick way to understand the situation. Look at any sprinting world record. It does not matter what one you choose. Then, look at the Men's world record vs Women's and see if you find a trend. The gap wont be small either.

The reason we split the genders is because in the vast majority of sports, women cannot compete against men and it be close. If you look at the 100m race that just happened. The guy who got last place had a time of 10.06s. The female world record for the same race is 10.49 and the Olympic female record is 10.62. If women and men were to compete, the best of the best of women would not be able to keep up with last place by almost a half a second. This is the reason we split the genders.

Now, we know that biologically sometimes we get people that do not fit perfectly into a category. That said, at what point do you start to say that genetically someone has enough male advantages that gives them an unfair advantage. Women's sports are already way less popular and if you follow your argument, you are going to make it even less watched.

...this has nothing to do with my comment. Yes, women and men have different biological structures and abilities, that much is obvious. I made no comments otherwise. I am talking about within categories, and born biological functions of the individual (if a chick is born with a testosterone boost, well, good for her). No external hormonal/steroid anything.

Your non sequitor reply reads like an uncontrollable desire to get in some OWM punches in just before the bell.

Apologies if I read that wrong

Do not blame the messenger.

Liberals and feminist want equality, then complain when they get equality.

Is the runner XX or XY? Is it "really" that difficult to say you have XY chromosomes so you have to compete with other men? Or does it have XX chromosomes?

We can put a nuclear powered rover on Mars, but we can not figure out if someone is male or female?

No one in the Olympics is allowed to compete against me if they have more natural athleticism then I do. Isn't fair.

Were you not trying to say that her situation is simply being born with an advantage of extra testosterone? It sure seems like you are saying that she should be able to compete against women because she has a natural advantage.

If that is your argument, then reread my post. Again, we split sports by gender for a reason. Women and men are not equal because of biological structures. Men are born with an advantage that means women cannot compete against men in the vast majority of sports. If you believe this women should get to compete against other women, then you need to explain why we split genders. It sure seems like this person has the advantage of being a man, but looking like a woman. If that is the case, then would it be wrong to deny a man who has had gender reassignment surgery? I dont ask that jokingly either. I seriously want to know if that is your argument.

Agreed - I demand to be my own baseline. And none of this exercise bullshit either - that's just another form of doping.

Actually I prefer that my medals just be mailed to me. Lot of damned walking and stair-climbing getting into Brazil. Up the stairs, down the stairs, cross the tarmac, climb the podium . . . Obviously this cannot be a level playing field for me, otherwise it wouldn't need stairs and escalators to get me there.
