will cisgender women ever recover? Were they even trying? Smh
Bloody hell, she looks like a rugby prop forward.
Itâs ludicrous. A big fucker of a man has just beaten two women. Sheâs not even remotely feminine. Sheâs a big bloke. This is insane.
Would take a big pair even to enter the UCI Masters Track Cycling Women 35-44 Sprint when youâre a transgender.
Back in the old days, we had a word for this sort of thing.
It was called âcheatingâ.
The question probably is: How much woman do you have to be to count as transgender and participate in the womenâs competition? Could be a path for blokes who donât make it in the menâs competition.
âŚAh yes the old Soviet bloc and their supplementsâŚ
nah, youâre just transphobic
seems to me that the only fair option would be to have transgender people disqualified from both men and womenâs events. Because they are neither one nor tâother. Not fair to THEM, of course, but fair to everyone else.
Didnât there used to be a genetic test for Olympic events? IIRC a woman had to be XX, although the only requirement for being male was at least one Y chromosome.
I suppose they could always organise completely separate events for men-who-used-to-be-women, and vice versa.
The barâs been set very low in this case.
Thatâs a big bloke in a variety of wigs.
Well, obviously you are an insensitive piece of excreta of the patriarchy for even entertaining that line of thinking, bub. Yours is a clear case of maxime toxicus masculini sexus, such thoughts I swear.
That Y chromosome means nothing. Nothing !!!
Athletes who participate as âmaleâ are not tested.
Edit:
Maybe the categories shouldnât be male/female but high/low level of testosterone and level of body mass.
Sex verification is not conducted on male athletes, those competing in the male category, and little data are available on their chromosomes or hormone profiles. However, a post-competition study of 693 elite athletes by Healy et al , published in 2014, found significant sex differences in many variables. The authors found that:
Using these data, Scientific American estimated that âalmost 2 percentâ of male competitors had testosterone levels in the typical female range.[35] The study authors also stated that average lean body mass differences might account for performance differences between sexes.[34]
Maybe everyone should have thought about having this discussion before making the law.
Dr. McKinnon also identifies as a lesbian.
I had to read this three times because my brain couldnât process the whole thing.
Probably a misquote over the wrong l-word. Iâm sure Dr. McKinnon meant that she identified as a middle-linebacker when she was a he.
I mean, I know she was always a she (Iâm not insensitive), but when she played middle-linebacker it was rumored - at the time - that she might be waffling.
As far as I can tell we have a male who hasnât undergone any gender reassignment surgery and is attracted to women, but likes to wear a dress and identifies as a woman.
