+1. THE POINT IS MOOT. SHE DIDN'T RACE IN THE QUALIFIERS. Wanna go to the inviational, you have to qualify first. My sister missed the Boston Marathon by two minutes in her qualifiers. two years in a row. Bummed yes but she's not making a stink over it. This season because of 20+MPH headwind on the back stretch.

Far as transgender person goes, if they say I'm a woman by cross dressing for only a week or two, I have a big problem. If they say I'm a woman and had the surgery, would it change the persons athletic ability?? muscle mass with testosterone. shape of our bones, women versus men's pelvic bone, arm length, leg length, VO2 capacity. From what I read, it sounds like they would have more of disadvantage then regular women. As long as there are no advantages, I say bring them on. Go ahead. Just move up in the rank like everyone else.

Just read spazzdogs' gender and pro cycling thread. And the canadian girl's photo. If the racers had no problem as an amatuer then why the problem as a pro?

And the photo of Tammy Thomas. Why would she do this to herself? Why is she so desperate for a win so much so that she would resort to this. She needs psychiatric help. It's a sport and you don't make much money. WHY?? I could sort of see if you were going to make so much money that you become independently wealthy (not having to make a living).
