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?

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?

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.

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'
