I'll admit, I'm surprised that apparently trans athletes could already compete as women, but they had to have been surgically altered. In this case, they've decided to loosen it to where that doesn't have to take place.

Guess women's competitions don't mean anything anymore. Yay equality?

[Irving]

Amazing. Both Olympians and "trans" people seem to be members of extremely small communities. I'm honestly shocked that someone running in both circles came along this early in the scene.

They don't mean dick.

...or maybe they do? [fail]

[TheGrey]

Unbelievable.

[Great-Kazoo]

Unbelievable.

Why's That?
With the Academy caving in to the race card OUTRAGE. Does anyone still believe there's things done based on merit and not some quota.
Remember EVERYONE DESERVES A COOKIE, not just the ones who actually do the work.

The Academy is going to lead and not wait for the industry to catch up. These new measures regarding governance and voting will have an immediate impact and begin the process of significantly changing our membership composition.”

Ice Cube steps up

When Norton asked Cube if he’d still attend the Feb. 28 ceremony, he responded, “I never used to go anyway. You can’t boycott something you never went to.”

On the topic of the Academy failing to recognize “Straight Outta Compton” — which received an Oscar nod for best original screenplay — in the best picture category, Cube said that being upset about the situation was like “crying about not having enough icing on your cake.”


“We don’t do movies for the industry. We do movies for the fans, for the people,” he said. “If the industry gives you a trophy or not, or pats you on the back or not, it’s nice, but it’s not something you should dwell on.”

They're even coming out with a new Cereal to " Commemorate & Recognize" The courage and accomplishments of Transgender athletes.
It will be named CHEATIES.

Man, the German women are going to dominate at the next olympics.

[Aloha_Shooter]

Hmmm ... so a bronze/silver medalist guy could claim he's transgender, win a gold amongst the women, then say he changed his mind? WTF ... if God (or Manitou or Zeus or Zoroaster or whatever) gave you a guy's muscular genetics then you should compete with the guys. Period, end of story. OTOH, I lost interest in the Olympics years ago -- too much BS and too much money anymore.

[ZERO THEORY]

I officially declare myself a woman. I am going to be the first Olympian to win gold in two different and unrelated sports. I can see the headlines now.

'6'2" 200 pound trans woman knocks out six opponents to win Women's boxing gold before going undefeated and winning each match by pin on the way to a wrestling gold as well'

And proven by economics experts to NOT help the local economy in the long haul.

[roberth]

What horseshit.

[Great-Kazoo]

The real question is. Will there be an attack during the Olympics, that make Munich look like a kindergarten break room ?

You can bet ISIS is thinking about it. I don't know if the goat fucking baby rapers have done anything of note in South America, might be some motivation to be the first.

[Bailey Guns]

This has the potential to ruin the entire reason the Olympics are relevant. Women's Beach Volleyball.

[TFOGGER]

This should make the weight lifting competition more interesting...

[crashdown]

What a bunch of horseshit!
Based on quick Google search it looks like maybe 1/10 of 1 percent of people could identify as transgender worldwide at best.
I would bet the percentage of the population that are Olympic athletes would be about the same.
So what are the real odds this is an issue? This is so agenda based its absurd, but this kinda crap is why my 18 year old believes that half the population is gay.

[Zundfolge]

This is actually good news. A handful of tranny's stealing gold medals from the women and even the hard core SJWs will come out against it.

I don't think so. Hardcore SJW's demand a worthy cause, and being female is not worthy enough. In fact, if you're a capable female and happen to be hetero, conservative, and not struggling through some sort of victimhood (which you would be expected to share with everyone else) and...god help you, WHITE, you are almost as bad as white males.

Believe me, SJWs have an f'ed-up sense of outrage (and plenty of it) to share against women that don't easily mash into their interpretation of "female."

[Gman]

How many women will compete as men? Anyone....anyone....Bueller...Bueller...

[ray1970]

Lance Armstrong is missing a testicle or two. I bet his testosterone levels are low enough he could compete in some women's cycling events.

[Jeffrey Lebowski]

There will definitely be folks this affects.
Google "Molly Cameron" (or don't).
This is a biological male who is transgendered (no surgery) to female. Races Cx (not an olympic discipline) as a male, which is fair.

Now USA Cycling said no. So Molly can't race mens, can't race womens. Lame. (Edit: USA cycling actually finally relented after the backlash)
Make these folks "race up." Caitlyn should still race men. Molly should. The German women should.

[davsel]

Is this so Bruce can be somewhat competitive again?

[Jeffrey Lebowski]

He'd destroy at the masters level.
