I for one am just glad we finally found a female athlete that can close the gender gap and will bring some equality to women's and men's sports.

What I don't get is what quitting would accomplish. Go, judge the event, award the woman who wins. Or, judge the other races and use the old "work stoppage" strike technique. They'll just replace this judge with Johnathan Yaniv.

He used to swim on the men’s team.

So I guess that East German swim team from the Olympics broke ground by having the first transgenders in competition with real women. Some of them were so roided up and manly they actually did transition into men afterwards

How is it "fair" that there were female only sports that the rest of us have to pay for in the first place? Hopefully this tranny thing will make the point that plundering men to fund the silly efforts of females, that never amounted to a hill of beans, was wrong and we should stop doing it.

Why do you think women shouldn't be allowed to do sports?

In is not a question of their being "allowed". It is just that they suck and if they are so equal then we shouldn't have to pay for their feeble attempts.

They suck compared to men because life is evil, but they're competing against other women and not men (or at least they shouldn't be competing against men).

At least one of them's got balls (well another one).

Mental Illness should be treated, never coddled.

Quitting does nothing, stay & score the fraud accordingly.

There should be three category's, men, woman and mentally ill.

I'd like to see "Lia" try to win a string bikini contest.

While it's a funny concept ( does this person dress to the side? ), I'd rather not see it. You can watch alone.

...is that something you really want to see.....

[–]IkeConn 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

No, but I would sit through it for shits and giggles.

I think I would too!
