The WNBA may get a new lease on life as a AAA ball club for the NBA.

Going to be epic.

Her being male means that she starts off in the top 10% of female athletes.

Those times aren't very good for a top sprinter. I don't think the girls have anything to fear.

I find it terribly unfair for a boy, including a boy who says he is a girl, to compete in girl's sports. "In the PIAA cross-country championship, running on the same course and on the same day, 75 percent of all participating boys in 2012 finished ahead of the fastest girl.

If boys are permitted to participate without limitation in girls' sports, they could dominate, dramatically reducing opportunities for participation, and for championships, by girls."

Sorry. It's all about the LGBT's. Whatever they want they get.

It's easy to beat the women when you're really a guy. Remember when failed gender tests disqualified Olympic athletes? What now? Will a man who identifies as a woman be allowed to compete against other women?

Oh look, it only took a few posts for this to turn into the 200th bigoted transgender hate thread of the day.

Why don't some of you educate yourselves on the issue instead of picking on children who achieve something.
