should she compete?

[bicyclulz]

Seriously, this is just like the issue surrounding athletes with prosthetics who wanted to compete in the Olympics. In this case, rather then it being a technological advantage, it's a biological advantage. "Kristen" lived as a male for 20+ years before undergoing surgery. "She" was even married.

irregardless---"SHE" did NOT compete in any of the qualifying races. sorry, but just on that alone she should not be allowed an advantage or sympathy vote just because "she" went and had surgery to become a woman.

If there really is an issue, there should be another organization or event set up to accommodate those who fall into this gray area.
