Interesting, how people think about transgendered people. Should they always be treated equally in everything? A former man / now woman dominates in powerlifting competitions - is "her" genetic-fueled advantage not grossly unfair to the other women competitors? Of course it is! But the PC crowd would have her continue to make a mockery of what should be a fair competition. What would be fair, would be to have two more categories in which only transgendered of each type (former men and former women) are only allowed to compete against either their own type or against athletes of their genetic gender.

Perhaps the Former Bruce will go on "Dancing with the Stars?"

Welcome to the New Age! :shock:

Kiwi men have been confusing sheep for women since the beginning of time, so this shouldn't be any more confusing.

The funny thing is that transgender people, gay people ( and all the others since there are too many to mention) don't want equality, they want SPECIAL rights.
True equality is when NO ONE is treated better than anyone else, where ALL have the same opportunities and ALL have the same problems.

There was a UFC transgender fighter in the female competition too. Now, that's just plain stupid. Given the serious injuries can be caused in same-sex matches, let alone having men fight against women.

Really? What special rights do all of those innumerable groups want?

None, Ed, none whatsoever.

One of the issues is the testing, since pro athletes in MMA ( UFC) get tested for steroids and T levels now.
The concern is what to do with a TG fighter ( male turned "female" fighting females) whoes T levels are too high for the class (female) they are fighting in.

I don't know what you were thinking, Paul. You made this broad, sweeping statement, and then declined to back it up for some reason. If you have many examples surely you could list a few. Otherwise I'm stuck telling you what you meant, which is kind of pointless.

I ain't fighting no chick who has an adam's apple! :lol: Or who can grow a better mustache than I can.

Ah, but is the word "transgendered" often not inappropriately applied? Is that a term that accurately applies to how one perceives themselves, gender-wise, or is should it be to a physical transformation? If it's a MIND thing, then why couldn't a man, who in his mind considers himself to be transgendered (meaning, as a woman, for whom nature screwed up when it issued a man's body/female brain combination) - why couldn't this (completely, physically) man, who merely thinks he's a woman, enter a women's weightlifting contest? I mean, what's the true criteria for transgendered - does it involve feminine dress, makeup and hair? Just mental self-identification? What? As it creates all kinds of confusion in how society should deal with it.

As for all of the bathroom hoopla in the U.S. - I'd say a simple rule should suffice - at least for safety purposes, if impractical for public-run stores or places to be able to know or enforce: If you consider yourself transgendered - and I don't care if you have rubber boobs, great makeup, good hair, and look pretty good in a dark bar - but if you have a PENIS, you ain't going in the bathroom with the skirt silhouette! So, Bruce should be in the room with the rest of the ones that pee standing up (he's still got his "boy!"

How crazy that this is a debate raging, a mere 60 years after the TV camera wouldn't show Elvis below the waist. Wanna ponder what's up in another 60 years? It'll probably include some legal arguments over how many sexbot wives one can have, or someone has bought one thinking it was female, and then later finds out that it was shipped as new, but was actually a used ( :esurprised: ) female sexbot, that had the parts changed out from it's original male sexbot manufacture. So, the plaintiff sues for fraudulent advertising and his (her?) emotional damages. And one of the transgendered Supreme Court robots is forced to recuse himself/herself from the case. But then after finding for the plaintiff, the case goes back to the court, because it is asserted that another robot judge had a situation of malfunctioning artificial intelligence.

Yes, written in humor, but brings up a lot of scary possibilities.
