Shizznick Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 Transexuals cleared to competeI expect to see Olympic records fall, especially for the records that the women hold. Of course some of those records may be held by East German women, which were kind of suspect anyway... realclearpolitics.com "Political tags - such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth - are never basic criteria.

See Red Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 Actually -- I was against this until i read the article. And while I'm still against it, it doesn't create any sort of unlevel playing field as after 2 years, a guy changing into a girl's hormone level will decrease to the level of females according to the doctors. So unless, when going into the change, the guy was totally ripped and really really huge -- I don't think it'd make any difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I'm not a doctor, I just play one on TV, well I did play one when I was a kid...I wonder if there is a difference of muscle mass between a male and a female and if hormone therapy really makes that much of a difference in that area. I mean isn't it still doping either way? realclearpolitics.com "Political tags - such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth - are never basic criteria.

NJTank Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 This world is getting sicker and sicker... Whne are people going to say enough is enough and say some things in the world are just not normal and transsexual are not normal. If they want a sex change then its too bad they cant compete at the olympics against women. I just hope a transexual never wins a medal because it will be robbing one from a deserving female athleete. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

habsfannova Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 Meh, it's not gonna be too major....If it makes some people happy, why the hell not?Lets just take gender right out of the mix. Everyone competing against everyone. Then lets see what happens. I actually like that idea. It would make things VERY interesting....But where do Candadians get off on our politics! The US crams its media down our throats (albiet usualy unintentionaly)and it relates directly to us. As the great Trudeau said, "It's like an elephant sleeping with a mouse...."BTW, if Any Yanks want to know about our Political system, I've written a crash course on it for an American friend. Just PM me if you're interested.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
