What, trolling me? Or did you have some other objective in mind?

Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

If I was living it, I might understand it, but yeah. As a parent, your first priority is for your kids to be happy and well adjusted. Whatever else, you work around.

RIP woman’s sport and the Olympics, what a damn joke. And no I’m not phobic at all, I feel disgusted for all the woman who worked so damn hard for all the years to get there, to be beaten by a male body. She may be a She now but for at least 18 years she was a he, with male hormones, male muscles and bones, which are totally different from the female version.

The solution? Compete before you go through the change, ordont compete, or have their own section.

This is an absolute farce.

The world transexual beach volleyball comp is (subject to Covid) played here every year. There is not a woman alive who can compete. They tried once and never got a set. They have their own games. Leave it as is. You are going to have transgenders winning weightlifting comps by breaking world records by 50 KG,

As an aside what if say a younger version of Dean Laidley played in the womens comp and ran through about 5 women and ruined careers/hobbies etc.
Annoying opposition supporters since 1967.

I agree, it would be terrible if that hysterical scenario you just made up came to pass, unlike in the real world where no sanctions exist for rough play, all transgender athletes are built like Rocky Balboa, AFLW players never get injured, male AFL players don’t get their jaws broken by rampaging Adelaide Crows veterans and all sporting injuries are permanent.
