    I dunno dear. I've never experienced being fast at anything

    But I recall though I can not find the direct quote but the amazing Flo Jo has written about wanting to be considered a woman and an athlete. Try to forget the flashy outfits, she sometimes wore lace, the flowing hair, the long elaborate nails .... and watch her run.

    Pure speed. Looks like nobody is even in the same race.
    Power
    Form.

    If she wasn't dressed to the nines would someone be asking: She must have an unfair genetic advantage?

    Women athletes and girls should be able to compete based on skill and strength and not how we look.

    If I want to get all dolled up fine, if not, also fine.

    I question what message this sends to young women and girls "If you're strong and not feminine you aren't a girl"
