    Yep; but you know that it is eventually going to happen and that when it does, most of our P.C. fanatic leftists will endorse the gambit.

    Yes. We need a third category for Trans Athletes.

    21ST CENTURY SPORTSMANSHIP: Biological Male Wins World Championship In Women’s Cycling.

    Rachel McKinnon, a professor at the College of Charleston, won the women’s sprint 35-39 age bracket at the 2018 UCI Masters Track Cycling World Championships in Los Angeles.

    McKinnon, representing Canada, bested Carolien Van Herrikhuyzen of the Netherlands and American cyclist Jennifer Wagner to take home the gold.

    McKinnon celebrated the victory on Twitter, writing: “First transgender woman world champion…ever.”

    Allowing biological males who identify as transgender women to compete in women’s athletic events has been a controversial subject, as critics have argued that it puts the female competitors at an inherent disadvantage.​

    Sorry, ladies, but you were warned.

    Actually, there is a rift within the feminist movement over this issue. Some feminists massively resent the intrusion of "trans-females" into traditionally feminine spaces.

    When women who have had addadictome operations win "world championships" in some physical sport and it happens with some frequency is when you can say that those "rules" are more than just a liberal social construct and/or are fair to real women.

    So you don't think the transgender had an unfair advantage over the women?

    At my high school back in the day, we had two girls who were twins and they won all the girls' athletic contests.

    Turns out years later we found out they were hermaphrodite.

    This is not fair to all the competitors who worked hard. She should have been disqualified the same way female taking male hormones should be disqualified. If transgenders want equality, they should not compete with an unfair advantage.

    Of course you have scientific proof that this is indeed the case? Or is it just your opinion. What training and study do you have on the topic?

    Take it up with Women's cycling. I have no control over their rules. But if you're deeply concerned, you may seek employment with them.
    Or represent other women who have a concern.
    Personally, I'm not going to get involved.

    So how about men who identify as women playing on the women's' softball team? Basketball? Marathons? Weight lifting?

    How about it?
    This isn't just identifying. Read the cycling rules that has been posted.

    There's a list of about 6 things that the person must meet.
    • If the athlete’s “everyday life” gender matches his or her racing gender
    • If the athlete has obtained civil documents with his or her racing gender identified (i.e. state I.D., driver’s license, birth certificate)
    • Attestation of gender identity from a medical professional
    • Attestation of gender identity from a certified counselor, public official, school administrator, or other academic advisor
    • Compliance with IOC guidelines
    Each sport, I am sure would set their own guidelines. Or perhaps not even go down that path.
    But that is up to them, not me.

    ...and the chicks just have to go along with it (In public, anyway) or else they would be banned for bigoted views on this decerebrate liberal construct.

    Gee, I don't know...maybe because biologically men are naturally stronger than women? You do know men and women do not compete with each other in the cycle racing world? Do you know why they don't?

    But we aren't talking about a biological male.
    And no, not every biological male is stronger than every woman.
    So why would SHE?

    If you did a DNA test what gender would you find? If you examimed the skeletal structure what would it tell you? How about the brain? How about the internal organs?

    Do you think men who want to be called women should be allowed to play in the LPGA? Force the LPGA to admit them?

    What, you're incapable of reading and quoting an entire post.
    I answer what about it, from my perspective. Not my call.

    I'm pretty sure the reports say that he's a man pretending to be a woman.
