    Thank God, it's just dodgeball.

    If this was hockey, the other nations would be calling us cheats, and I'd be agreeing with them.

    Really they should go the same way they are with bathrooms. Unisex teams. May the best man, woman, LGBTQREKFUSBFLF or whatever win. Let's just do away with the term "man" and "woman" as they are highly sexist. :lol:

    I like the idea better of trannies having their own divisions, and maybe something like a trans-sexual olympics, or some such thing.

    True, Fallon Fox may die of old age before another male MMA fighter gets desperate enough for a win that he has the operation, but if fairness is what we're looking for, this seems more fair than waiting for Fox to kill some girl in the cage.

    My wife gets email about running events and one of the running events in Sacramento is considering doing away with counting male and female participants separately. They're wanting to just count 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th place finishers regardless of gender.

    I fully support the notion because if women think they can compete with men then let them.

    This shit just gets more confusing everytime it's brought up.

    Long before we had Mr Jenner became Mrs.Jenner we had people like this person who sued the Governing body of a sport because he who identified as she couldn't compete in the womens competitions.


    We have simply ruled that based upon being born as a male, she will need to compete in the Men's Division. ... The fundamental, ineluctable fact is that a male competitor who has a sex reassignment procedure still has a genetic makeup that confers a physical and physiological advantage over women. ... Our decision has nothing to do with "ignorance" or being bigots -- it has to do with a very real understanding of the human genome, of fundamental biology, that you are either intentionally ignoring or missed in high school.

    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/brynn-tan ... 18835.html


    Apparently pointing out that this person has a distinct physical advantage over female born competitors has no bearing on the case because this person has "identified" as a woman. :roll:

    I'm no expert in anatomy but Politically Incorrect as it is, the governing bodies of all sports should put in a caveat that all competitors must compete in the gender divisions they were born in because, is really fair to the other women competitors for a man to compete as a woman?

    Although this discussion reminds me of this.

    It depends on the sport though. I think it's ridiculous for example, that pro bowlers are segregated by gender, yet one does not really have a competitive advantage over the other.

    Autoracing is not divided by gender, but males do have a slim advantage over females. Muscle power and stamina are the physical attributes a driver needs, and men have the power, but women have the stamina and stature needed. Men also tend to have the mental advantage, as a keen sense of aggression and lack of self preservation is needed which many women don't have.

    There are a lot of good women drivers out there, but the great ones are usually men and completely off their rocker. :lol:

    And depth perception. For reasons unknown, men have better depth perception.

    Me too, in non-contact sports. Probably not a good idea in the NFL, say.
