After former Olympic decathlon champion Bruce Jenner announced he had changed his gender to female and wished to called Caitlyn Jenner, it was only a matter of time before the transgender movement bled into the Olympics and came under consideration by those who have an influence over it.
According to new recommendations issued by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), transgender athletes should now be allowed to participate in the Olympics without having to undergo sex reassignment surgery. Female-to-male transgender athletes should be able to take part in the male category events without restriction and male-to-female athletes must use hormone therapy, and will need to show their testosterone levels are below ten nano moles per liter at least a year before participating and throughout the period of eligibility.
The document states that these new regulations are based on the logic of fair play, and are meant to ensure that trans-athletes are not excluded from the opportunity to participate in the sporting competition. This can be a double-edged sword.
While it ensures that females aren’t using testosterone to blow through the women’s events, it creates new avenues of unfair play for men competing in the women’s events. While their testosterone levels might be low, they’re still physically male in both skeletal and muscular structure, especially if they’re athletes. There isn’t a lot that hormones can do about that.

I look at this this way…some women say , “I can do anything a man can do.” If that’s the case why cry when some men may compete against you in sports? I agree its stupid for men and women to compete against each other but, women groups are pushing all are “equal” I say get rid of men and women sports teams. Let there be just teams. May the better person be on the team!
A huge dude literally with mops of hair under his arms will be competeing in womens weightlifting at the next Olympics for Australia I beleive. I thought it was jus America that has gone bat sh*t crazy with all this gender identity c**p. I cant believe the Olympics is allowing this!!
Yet another brick in the wall. A man or men competing in womens oly,pics?????? Women chosen to represent the USA and theen deny their allegiance to the USA. If they do not represent the USA get rid of them. Someone must have something on the Olympic committee to let this obvious wrongness continue, or maybe they are being paid off. Some time in the future there will be a real journalist that will get to the bottom of this stupid fiasco and then it may not be too late to strip those posers of their medals.
Yes, America has collectively lost its mind. There are apparently enough men that don’t quite stack up as men competing with men in olympic materiel that they have to declasre themselves women.
Reducing testerone or eliminating it does not define biologically what a man is or what a woman is. It is nothing but smoke and mirrors medical VOODOO to fool the general public. Wake up America and stand for what is right. Robbing real contestants from competing at the OLYMPICS is a real crime here, Do nothing America and you are as guilty as the Committee.
Everyone forgets Bruce Jenner won his medals as a MAN!!!!!!
