I mean, I'm not terribly against it...but it should only be for post-op.
Pre-op is just going to lead to countries trying to cheat the rules.

8 members of the Iranian women's soccer team are men .  

All this push to be inclusive to these people will only hurt actual women in athletics.   It won't take long until some high school is dong this stuff to win.    

This is nothing but a slap in the face to all female pioneers in athletics.  They fought for all these years so some dude can swing in and take their spot because he couldn't cut it against the men.

Well so much for girls working hard to compete.  Now some dude who couldn't hack it in the men's competition can just come on over.  

Babe Didrikson must be rolling over in her grave.   What a joke and a slap in the face to all female athletes.  

Iran will enjoy this now that they can compete with their mostly dude women's soccer team.

Given the current state of "sex change" operations (cost/coverage, results, complications, finding someone who will actually do it), it's understandable why so few trans people actually get surgery and just have hormone treatment. 

A year or two of hormone therapy would constitute a "transition". The current rules, despite what OP wants to suggest, wouldn't involve people just changing their gender on a whim and suddenly being allowed to compete.

On a side note...  If you want to talk about the hottest olympic group.    Not sure many even come close to the Italian women's fencing team.

I didn't say they were ugly.  You obsession with physical beauty makes me worry for your children sometimes.

I was pointing out that many "proper women" took steroids and the like to enhance their physical ability.  Especially in the Communist regions.  And really it just took about 20 seconds of a google search.  Those were the first few I found.

Doesn't mean they are ugly...it means that they weren't "playing fair" either.

Oh...and one them is a man who participated as a woman at the request / demand of the East German government.  Not a man going through transitioning...a man.


Can you pick out who it was?
