I am as liberal as they come and I take exception with that ruling. I have no problem with trans people and they can do what they want with their bodies. They should also be protected against crimes and afforded full opportunities.
However, I agree that Obama went too far there.
Their freedom should not impede on the freedom of CIS women. imo.

They can believe that they are full women however they should not take advantage of their new found gender.

I understand a transgender's pain and transition. I know two women that are transitioning and becoming men. One of them has even had her mastectomies and is waiting for surgery to create a penis.

I don't understand letting two physically stronger transgender sprinters compete against highschool girls

I also don't like that some random guy can now say that that he identifies as a female and goes in and showers and dresses in a woman's dressing room
We already have Special Olympics to allow the handicapped to compete. The solution is right there for you. Create a separate league for transgenders to compete in. We have absolutely no idea what to do with them otherwise.

A biological man who is 6'6" isn't going to get any shorter by transitioning, so letting him play women's basketball is incredibly unfair. A biological woman is essentially taking large quantities of banned PED's in order to transition to looking like and living as a man. There is no clear way to fit either one into men's or women's sports leagues because both of them are kinda cheating and have unfair advantages.

Wrestling and boxing are divided by levels. May need to do the same.

They're divided by weight.

Since men are pound for pound stronger etc. that won't help in a lot of sports.

I will admit though, (random thought) it would be funny if they had weight classes for other Olympic sports.

Like the Super Heavyweight class for the marathon or 400yd dash etc. or diving!

I was talking about gay marriage, not transgender issues.

Default Female High Schooler Speaks Out After Losing Championship To Two Transgender Sprinters

Quote:
Connecticut high schooler Selina Soule appeared on Fox News' "The Ingraham Angle" on Tuesday night to discuss transgender athletes in women's sports. Soule recently competed in a high-stakes competition where two biologically male transgender sprinters beat the field, taking first and second place by significant margins. Soule finished in 8th place, missing an opportunity to compete in front of college coaches by two places.

Women's athletics are finished. Enjoy the show!
