Just saw this article in the National Review: “Trans Powerlifter: I’m ‘Still Deciding’ Whether to Compete as a Man or a Woman”. Then, there is of course Bruce Jenner (his possible motto: The show must go on! (just kidding)).
Men Competing In Female Sports Or Vice Versa
Would not be easier for let’s say less than top notch male athlete to compete in female sport events even at Olympic Games to win and become famous? Or what if Usain Bolt decides to change his gender and compete against women any time soon?
Vice versa how about transgendered female jockeys in the Kentucky Derby and so on.
Who remembers the controversies surrounding female Olympic athletes coming from the former USSR or communist block countries who were accused of taking hormones that made them look like men?
Has the time finally come that men and women compete directly in sport events as well? E.g. at the famous Wimbledon Tennis Tournament? At least this would remove any equal pay issues or would it not?
Disclaimer
This is not to say that all humans having the desire to become transgender are just motivated by money and fame.
