All those records set by non-women will be expunged and put in a new category of their own. It's only a matter of time.

It's possible that a third category will be created, but since there are no meaningful requirements for being trans it would very quickly just turn into a men's 'B' league. And since I doubt these narcissists are interested in anything like that, it would probably never really get off the ground.

Am I the only accelerationist on this board? I tend to cheer on this sort of lunacy as a sign that the damn may soon burst.

You're not the only one. Its a fairly popular stance considering the history of cheating in sports, like my personal favourite: In 2000, the Spanish basketball team won gold at the Paralympics. But they didn't have a disability.

how is having intellectual disabilities relevant to physical sports anyway... that seems like a really questionable category

that could be a disability but that says only 2 of the 12 players really had one, so they just lied and cheated. Intellectual disability means being retarded. They faked it like cartman did on south park.

oh, ok, it said they didn't take a test for "learning disabilities" so I was thinking things like ADD or dyslexia... if it's a more serious mental handicap that would be different. (Although, that would also seem like it would be pretty easy to notice who fits the profile)

I guess the main way they test it is to see if the person has an IQ below 75, but in that case they just never did any tests. That had been in australia and the spanish players just wanted a free vacation there.
