Olympics: Pre-Op M-to-F Transsexuals can compete as women

"Olympics Loosen Rules to Allow Pre-Op M-to-F Transsexuals to Compete with Women

There’s great news for adventurous male Olympic hopefuls: if they declare themselves women and reduce their testosterone below 10 nmol/L for at least 12 months prior to competition, they can compete against ladies.

There’s even better news for these men; according to transgender guidelines approved by the International Olympic Committee, genitalia does not serve as a prerequisite. The guidelines state: “To require surgical anatomical changes as a pre-condition to participation is not necessary to preserve fair competition and may be inconsistent with developing legislation and notions of human rights.”.

The IOC held a “Consensus Meeting on Sex Reassignment and Hyperandrogenism” in November at which they created the new guidelines, loosening prior rules adopted in 2004 to allow transgender athletes into the Games. The previous rules required that transgender athletes must have undergone external genitalia changes and removal of gonads, as well as obtaining legal recognition of their assigned sex from appropriate official authorities.

The new guidelines attempt to justify themselves by citing various societies’ acceptance of fluid gender identity, writing, “Since the 2003 Stockholm Consensus on Sex Reassignment in Sports, there has been a growing recognition of the importance of autonomy of gender identity in society, as reflected in the laws of many jurisdictions worldwide.”

The IOC ignores evidence that the fairness of male to female transition still leaves men larger in general than the women they compete against. As Robert S. Beil, M.D., of Montefiore Medical Group, acknowledged, “MTF trans people tend to be bigger, and may have certain strengths from before they started using estrogen.” As noted in a study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine:........"

I don't know whether to :lol: or :ohno: Talk about patently unfair to the female Olympians who have to compete against these "men"..

It certainly was during the Soviet era when chicks-with-dicks were bringing home the gold medals.

That was different. Those were women they were giving hormones and steroids to, not men who got their dicks lopped off then claimed to be women.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?

There IS precedent.

Renee Richards was a transsexual on the WTA tour back in the '70s and '80s. S/he didn't last long, as s/he totally whomped. Age may have played a factor, though, as Richards "competed" as a male back in the '50s before trying to do so as a female twenty years later.

There was a transgender basketball player in a Cali JC a few years back. The incident initially drew loud protests, until s/he, too, proved to be worthless on the court.
