Are The Olympics Transitioning?

"Transgender atheletes (sic) to be allowed to compete as the other sex in the Olympics...."
The International Olympic Committee received proposed guidelines in November from its 'Consensus Meeting on Sex Reassignment and Hyperandrogenism', which allow for broader policies that would include transgender athletes.
Olympic officials have not confirmed the new guidelines, which have already been adopted by other regulatory sports organizations, but the policy is available on the organization's website....
The policy change would be in line with NCAA standards in the United States, which allow male-to-female and female-to-male transgender athletes to compete without having gender reassignment surgery, according to ESPN....
Forty years ago Caitlyn Jenner won a gold medal at the Montreal Summer Olympics in the Men's Decathlon event when she was then known as Bruce Jenner. If she were to compete today - if she had undergone one year of hormone replacement therapy - she could compete in the women's event.

If they really want to be fair, they could lower the age for competitive gymnastics. After that, add subjective scoring to track and field, and the modern Olympics will be fully transformed.

In porn, those disgusting female bodybuilders crowd out the few natural women well-endowed of clitoris. This is an abomination. Who is with me in this noble struggle to stand up for those special gals who can almost get it to stand up?

Transgender surgery and hormone therapy celebrates modern pharmacological triumph over traditional bigotry present only in flyover America. The Olympics should go "whole hog" and allow steroid-enhanced competition for all genders. Let's see the full human potential!

Remember when the Soviet Union was fielding those amazons in the women's event who really were not women?

What's the difference?

If this is the case they should eliminate all gender specifications from every event.
Sorry natural born girls end of the line for you.
