Let that sink in.

Let that sink in also.
A girl that took male hormones in order gain an unfair advantage.
And don't say it was unfair towards this individual.

Suppose the "handicap" were something other than gender identity that could be remedied with what might be a performance enhancing prosthesis, should that person be prevented from competing?
The amputee athlete known as the Blade Runner has won his fight to compete at Beijing's Olympics. Oscar Pistorius had been barred from the games over fears that his carbon fibre limbs gave him an advantage over able-bodied competitors.
Yesterday, however, that ruling was overturned with immediate effect by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

absolutely!
You know, Dago, it's prob'ly just me and prob'ly wrong but there's something very distasteful, inappropriate, almost revolting about letting this creep wrestle with and even pin young nubile girls to the mat......it's just flat out wrong......mac

This individual should not have been allowed to compete as a girl because this individual chose to identify as a boy.
This individual's choice took away other individuals chances because this individual was selfish.
Those other individuals didn't have a choice because of this individual's choices.
And that's just plain wrong.
This individual should have chosen either to be a boy and not wrestle, or to be a girl and wrestle.
do you have any idea how silly that sounds? a person can't choose to be a boy or a girl. either one can choose to mutilate themselves or even taken certain meds but you are what you are.......chromosomes don't lie.....mac

Kind of reminds me of praying before a sporting event. One person doesn't like it and millions have to shut up and be silent.
i heard an interesting take on this the other night at a rotating poker club or group that i play with. he was 'supposing' that it might be unfair for athletes to pray befor an event for help......that it may make the event unfair to the other team, or competitors..... that the event should be man to man, one on one, etc.......no help from performance enhancing drugs, growth hormones or God......mac

You know what I mean. This individual chose to identify as a boy. That choice comes with consequences.

Well, it worked for Gideon... Why not the Rangers or Cowboys.
Seems like they can use all the help they can get.

Students using performance enhancing drugs would have been disqualified. Steroid use is not allowed. If one wants to change their gender they get to bypass the rules everyone else has to follow?

That is really interesting. A person taking testosterone has got to have a more umph than a person not no? That was the knock on the East German women back in the day, especially their weightlifting teams and swim teams.

Did you read the article? It's a girl versus girl that is transitioning to be a boy. She was born a girl
