i've been vocal about this issue previously but i'm not a parent and i'm not a female. with that, i've decided, because this doesn't directly affect me, i'll let those who this does affect speak up and fight for what's best for them. i have not heard about an organized group of female athletes speak up on the issue.

Definitely not the death of women's sports .

Like it or not, a male body has an advantage over women body (generally). Male transitioning to female still have that clear advantage (in most cases).
Having said that, I don't know the right answer whether it should be allowed or not. Like Rubs, I see both points and don't know the answer.
agree he has a point as I stated up front, except his analogies were stupid and were not based on science like he stated. My point was just to talk about the issue without being a dick. Because its real people.
My other point is many people keep saying this is the death of womens sports which is also false. Its a very small percentage.
I doubt women's sport will decline however there will be a lot of scrutiny moving forward if it happens.

They were amazingly progressive. Both male and female competitors started taking a horseload of steroids, making any concerns about gender altogether redundant.
On the other hand there is still a considerably high amount of homophobia for a sport where male competitors strip down to Speedos, rub oil all over their bodies and prance around, showing off their muscles on a brightly lit stage.

The close proximity competitions and sports are the ones that have the most homophobia. Can't wrestle or put oil on a man who may get turned on by it.

The progressive moment lacks common sense.
