The Olympics are going to allow "Transgenders" ...

to participate this year. There is just so much wrong with that. If you are going to do that then you might as well make all the sports Co-ed. You will basically never have born females competing in male sports but you will see born males starting to dominate for some countries, in physical sports anyway. Countries that want to win Gold will just put an all male team out there to compete in the women's sports.
They either need to create Transgender leagues or make sports Co-ed. Otherwise all the new records will need to have asterisks and when women don't make a team because they are beat out by a man, what kind of fairness will that create. I think it is total BS along with so many other things being brought forward by the Woke Extremists!

Not sure how we got here, but we now live in a post truth society

Anything you don't like the definition of, just change it. Male, female, racism etc...
Very scary times. The very loud "woke" people continue to change terms and be loud. We need the silent majority to start standing up and let the others know there is truth and you aren't afraid of being cancelled because of it.

You can fix that by having the Olympics in say Pakistan , Turkey, Egypt, Iran. They would welcome them by sending them head first off the tallest camel

Iran is actually surprisingly tolerant of transgender people
May 10, 2021, 10:06 AM

because they see it as being preferable to regular ol' homosexuality.
"In Iran, homosexuality is a crime, punishable with death for men and lashings for women. But Iran is also the only Muslim country in the Persian Gulf region that gives trans citizens the right to have their gender identity recognized by the law. In fact, the Islamic Republic of Iran not only allows sex reassignment, but also subsidizes it."

How long you got. It needs to come to a head. My hope is it gets as bad as it can rather soon. That may sound crazy, but things can’t keep going like their going(economically, debt, moral composition of the country) and no eventually collapse something. I want it to happen soon so maybe I’ll be young enough to recover and see the country get back to the foundation of what the country was supposedly created for . I also what the liberals to be in power when it happens, that’s why I’m rooting for every thing Biden is trying to push through to proceed.
Republicans need to get the heck out of the way and let Biden push through everything he wants. I want a 25 trillion dollar infrastructure bill, 30 trillion dollar climate change bill, and a 15 trillion dollar reperations bill. MAKE IT HAPPEN BIDEN

These were women on male steroids. About to see men on female steroids. Before and after events. But during events, every effort will be made for these male athletes to be as strong as possible.

There are already articles about the NZ "She-male"...

likely competing in weightlifting this upcoming Olympics. He/She just finished second in International competition when competing in his first female competition. This is total BS as far as I am concerned. Males will automatically produce more testosterone therefore creating more muscle mass than the typical female that is not on enhancements, which I think most of them take some type. They just have to be clean in time for the competition.
No protests allowed supposedly, I would love to see athlete boycott the olympics at last minute if they have a transgender in their sport, male or female. You know how many of millions that would cost the hosting country, the countries competing in that sport, and the Olympics organization as a whole. I guarantee if they shut down the games due to protests, there would be new rules prior to the next season of games.
We could only be so lucky!!

How embarrassing to be a biological male and losing to any female in powerlifting. Was that guy even #1000 when competing against men?
In high school swimming, you don’t even make the finals without beating the women’s world record. By a lot.

Female opinion here. This will not stop until the female competitors take a stand and not show up to compete. It does not matter that the transgender’s testosterone level has to be under 10 nanomoles per liter. The difference in muscle mass does not change.

Well, I didn't plan on watching the Olympics anyway.
It's gotten stupid.
I lost interest when they made curling an Olympic event. LOL
I'm just down to following college sports now until they ruin that too.

My daughter competed against athlete that was fixing to get an addadicktome and become a dude. That athlete had back zits and was ripped and beat everyone.
My daughter said that if she were to get to the NCAA's and this person was there, that she would protest.
Bottom line - if this becomes wide spread, it will decimate women's sports. If you want fairness, create a trans division.

That I could get behind, particularly at the Olympic level.
The problem is, somebody who is born biologically a male does have natural advantages in bone density and muscle mass that aren't going to magically go away when they transition, and it does give them an unfair competitive advantage.
As I've always said, I'm a fiscal conservative, and fairly liberal, socially, and I'm all for trans rights...but the idea that a trans person should be allowed to compete against women still seems a reach. Biologically they aren't female, and I think it's ultimately going to be on the women competitors themselves to stand up and say: "hey, c'mon here, not cool, no she-male ringers."

Feminist groups are the only ones who can stop this ridiculousness at this point.

I hope they will protest the heck out of this. It’s super unfair to women, who have fought for centuries for equality, to have to compete against trans athletes.
My guess is that most women will play nice for a while for the sake of public appearances, but then take a stand when/if the number of trans athletes gets out of hand and it starts to have a significant impact on outcomes.

allowed to compete in athletic events as a woman. Period, end of discussion. It is patently unfair to every biological woman out there.
Society has lost its collective mind.

They made the announcement on ESPN yesterday but I saw that article after the fact. I don't know but it sounded like there must have been another vote and it passed which it seems to have actually passed again. Or maybe the US teams are allowing transgender competition in the upcoming Olympics??? Seemed to be pretty news worthy as it had TV and radio spots. Plus Hannity even mentioned on his talk show.
It's obviously more of discussion points because the "Woke Extremists" are vocalizing everything they can to create as much radical discontent as possible. They may as well as this new government regime seems to cower to all the "WOKES"!

I remember those East German women swimmers in the 1970's Olympics standing on the starting blocks facing our sweet, blond California female swimmers. It wasn't a fair competition

Some of both sexes (there are just two sexes) are strong and weak. A good thing to look at would be the "best of the best". The very best female World Records in the more physical sports are less than that of males.
After 40 ran a thousand foot races. I mostly won or was competitive in the local geezer groups, went under a few state records at distance. Loosing to a young girl was common. I coached some I could not keep up with. That is because I was old and "she" was in her prime. If age, talent, and training are similar, females have no chance against males. This is not me saying it, but record books and history.
I truly love women and truly love female athletes. It pisses me off that folks would take away their dreams by taking away a level playing field.

Maybe my favorite memory in Sports is the first Olympic Marathon for girls. It was a hot, brutal day in LA. The field was loaded, including the great, incredible Grete Waitz. The smart move was hang with Grete. All did that including future World record holders and Boston winners.
Joannie bolted at the start and was soon out of sight. Mile after mile she hung on, racing alone which is tuff. My heart beat was higher than hers as I watched. All smart money knew she would fade as this is a Marathon.
Finally Grete realized Joan was not coming back to the field so went after her. It was too late! By then I was in tears.
A couple good friends I saw most days (Earl Owens, George Walker, Tony Bateman) could have taken that Medal with ease just by checking the female box on a forum. This was just guys in Charlotte. Think how many from across the World could have stolen (stolen) the medal Joannie earned.
