    have to think there wont be many upset that s/he has gone out this way.

    Nope , its only a matter of time till someone gets badly hurt by a tranny in a contact sport. My guess is wrestling or mma.

    Already happened in MMA with transgender Fallon Fox.

    Quotes from one of the poor girls that got badly beaten up:

    In a post-fight interview this week, Brents told Whoa TV, “I’ve never felt so overpowered ever in my life.”

    “I’ve fought a lot of women and have never felt the strength that I felt in a fight as I did that night. I can’t answer whether it’s because she was born a man or not, because I’m not a doctor,” she stated. “I can only say, I’ve never felt so overpowered ever in my life, and I am an abnormally strong female in my own right. ”

    Fox’s “grip was different,” Brents added. “I could usually move around in the clinch against…females but couldn’t move at all in Fox’s clinch.”

    https://thelibertarianrepublic.com/transgender-mma-fighter-destroys-female-opponent/

    And Joe Rogans thoughts:

    I say if you had a dick at one point in time, you also have all the bone structure that comes with having a dick. You have bigger hands, you have bigger shoulder joints. You're a f***ing man. That's a man, OK? You can't have... that's... I don't care if you don't have a dick any more...

    Look, [Fox is] huge! She's not just huge, she's got a f***ing man's face. I mean, you can wear all the lipstick you want. You want to be a woman and you want to take female hormones, you want to get a boob job, that's all fine. I support your life to live, your right to live as a woman.

    Fight guys, yes. She has to fight guys. First of all, she's not really a she. She's a transgender, post-op person. The operation doesn't shave down your bone density. It doesn't change. You look at a man's hands and you look at a women's hands and they're built different. They're just thicker, they're stronger, your wrists are thicker, your elbows are thicker, your joints are thicker. Just the mechanical function of punching, a man can do it much harder than a woman can, period.

      Tense times at the squash. Joelle King won the first two sets, then lost the third and is down in the fourth.

        Nasty.

        Reality of her lifting with the women is that she was in her own competition anyway - her first lift was 7kg more than the best lift of the next best competitor.

        How do you deal with all this if you're a sports administrator?

        I reckon you allow transgender athletes and blade-runners etc to compete with the other athletes, but you have extra medals. e.g. If Laurel wins overall then she gets a gold, but so does the first natural born woman. If she comes second she gets a silver, but so does the person who comes third. If she comes fourth she gets nothing - like everyone else.

        Participation medal. Nice

            @chris-b Yeah, unfortunately Joelle has let a few opportunities slip through her fingers and let Perry back in the game big time.

              I don't think Laurel should be able to compete against biological women. It puts her in a difficult situation because who can she compete against? Medals for Laurel and medals for everyone would be a very PC way to go

                I'm hanging out for the shot put final. Would be cool if Tom broke his own record. He has thrown further than 22.45 this year.

                  @canefan Probably not, but that's seemingly what we're stuck with. Oscar Pistorius was heading in a similar direction.

                  That's why I think my solution is a reasonable compromise. She gets to compete as a woman, but doesn't deprive someone else of their deserved reward.

                  Won't work in contact sports.

                  Edit: And they give away so many medals in swimming it's not like a few more are going to make much difference. 🙂

                                So thrilled for Joelle, that was an absolute epic final. Honestly, I think the crowd really wanted her to win too. The English girl was mega talented but gees she needs to check her temper.

                                Men's final up now.

                                    Just made a fuck up and tried to bluff her way to winning the let.

                                    She reminded me of one or two of the teenagers who can’t control their temper at the local club when shit doesn’t go their way.

                                      Gah. Kiwi javelin thrower Robinson threw a World Record and was in gold, only to be pipped by the Welsh chick and a new world record on her final throw.

                                        On the subject of Hubbard I just watched the 1500m heat with Caster Semenya.

                                        Just doesn't look right.

                                        I know it's a different situation. But it's really not fair.
