You could get around the problem by just banning butt ugly people from competing. The questionable cases look like puke.

sure... as long that applies to ugly bio male and females also. and horses with questionable breeding histories and ugly forlocks in the equestrian events.

Of course. Sports is show biz. I'm not paying to see ugly people.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

It is good to know your audience

So should we have three genders in the Olympics?

Men, women, and other?

I guess it depends on whether you consider gender a social construct or as a division made due to slight human sexual dimorphism like in sports.

If you do not have the physical disadvantages of being a woman competing as one is cheating.

I don't remember making any of those comments. I was merely relaying an anecdote about old ideas versus new science. In fact, I've made no comment whatsoever about the article, as I've no opinion on the matter.
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

The fact your comments had nothing to do with my misplaced rant does not mean my misplaced rant is any less true!

THAT is languish, god bless you!

See, and I was just telling Max that Languish felt.. wrong. I've been reading reasonable discourse and actually learning a good bit from the lot of you. I was scared.  :cry:

Thank you for bringing us back to where we started, Valmy. ^_^

I am here to make you feel at home :)

Anyway I misunderstood and I admitted it no need to pile on.  :(

I would prefer the trannies compete with the men if they fancy themselves world class olympic athlete trannies.

In Thailand they compete with the men if they want to play sports.  Back in the mid 90s a gay/trannie team won the national volleyball tournament.

It is good to see my ideas working out in reality.

Lesbians(or regular 'ol women) can buy attachments to switch genders.

I made the mistake of watching that Southern Comfort documentary about "men" who used to be women (I guess there were some who flipped the opposite way as well).  They were able to grow beards & all from the hormone injections & had their boobs cut off, but one thing they couldn't hide was their bitch hips, which were quite evident when they wore jeans.

I wouldn't admit watching that in this forum. Rookie mistake.  :mad:

Gender is social, sex is genetic. 

Even in sex distinctions, though, you have XXY chromosome combos and the like, which muddy things.
