Like this dude. He's of the "I'm keeping my penis, but I feel like a woman" faction.

“So, ugh, what do you do for a living?”

“I heroically abuse women.”

There’s too much mutual respect in this thread...might start dropping bible verses to stir the pot

“So, ugh, what do you do for a living?”

“I heroically abuse women.”

Should've gone with the bible verses.

“I heroically abuse women” is kind of a cliffs notes version

Not edgy enough. Lol

I have no problem calling transgenders he/she whatever their preference. Heck, I’d like to think I would be like her best friend in that segment and have the same friendship after.

The most interesting part to me was the physician saying that her size was a competitive disadvantage because she had to now wield it with less testosterone. I’d need to see more info on this, but I find it dubious on the surface.

But the fact that she’s a star at both handball and Aussie rules football goes against the fairness of blanket inclusion of trans females in women’s sports.

Is nobody going to mention the grabbing of the boob in this picture?

That physician is a buffoon

Just look a little harder...they’re there.

Do we feel the same way about beauty pageants as we do about sports?
===============================================

On Sunday, Kataluna Enriquez became the first transgender woman to win the Miss Nevada beauty pageant, which was held at the South Point hotel-casino in Las Vegas.

The 27-year-old will be the first openly trans woman to compete for the title of Miss USA this November.

Enriquez beat 21 other candidates to represent Nevada for the Miss USA competition, which takes place on November 29.

In a post on her Instagram account celebrating the win, Enriquez wrote: "My community, you are always in my heart. My win is our win. We just made history. Happy pride."

Enriquez's historic win was marked during Pride month, which usually takes place in June in the U.S. The month sees a series of marches, parades and other events held to recognize and celebrate the LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, non-binary and queer) community............

Who is Kataluna Enriquez? First Openly Trans Woman to Compete for Miss USA

Ah, yes, South Point. Such a classy establishment.

I don't know if the science on this has changed but i remember a class i took in school saying that men and women think about things differently.

Literally. During brain scans of men and women being exposed to different pictures, video clips of various situations (a crying baby, a wedding , a boxing match etc.)

And the scans showed that the men were pretty consistent with other man and women with women but men and women were different from each other

If that's true I wonder what that experiment would show for transgendered people - would the scan align with their birth gender or what they identify as?

Brain activity and structure in transgender adolescents more closely resembles the typical activation patterns of their desired gender, according to findings to be presented in Barcelona, at the European Society of Endocrinology annual meeting, ECE 2018.

These findings suggest that differences in brain function may occur early in development and that brain imaging may be a useful tool for earlier identification of transgenderism in young people…….

Transgender brains are more like their desired gender from an early age

So hormone treatment/modification is no longer required? This used to be a debatable topic. Now it's just plain stupid.

International Olympic Committee issues new guidelines on transgender athletes

Athletes will no longer be required to undergo “medically unnecessary” hormone treatments to compete, the IOC said.

Realize it’s an old thread with tons of good suggestions. Fact is these are people I support pursuing their journey through life. What I don’t support is their journey and right to achieve it infringing on others. To me, creating a 3rd gender group seems a start to a solution.

Doesn't seem fair to the women athletes.

Because it isn’t and shouldn’t be allowed. I posted my opinion for a solution above.

It's not fair. I like the idea of a 3rd party system.
