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.

Well said!
This is beyond SICK!
Men want to be women ,women want to be men ,the question is , did God make a mistake?
Sad, must be Hillary behind equality and diversity in the Olympics. Bruce may come out of closet retirement.
I hope NO ONE ATTENDS. People will boycott “academy awards” for STUPID reasons, but let’s boycott something that sends a REAL message? Look in your underwear and whatever you see is what you ARE!!! If you’re a boy that “wants to be a girl”, go play dress up all by yourself (or with other boy-girls), but it’s sad that the only ones you can “compete with” are girls? Don’t you worry that people will say, “You got beat by a GIRL!!” ? So ridiculous. So much $ spent on these events… I bet if people just got sick and tired of the PC nonsense, and didn’t watch, sponsor, or attend, we might see a change!
WTF!! Paul Johnson Joe Tullar Lupe Vallejo Enrique Acosta what’s next All Mens Sports from NCAA to Pros?
I don’t agree with right wing or left wing on many issues but this darn it is a bit over the top.
The olympics have become a joke.
