Transgender British athletes born as men set to make Olympic history by competing in the games [tr]
UK Daily Mail ^ | July 2, 2016 | Sanchez Manning and Ian Gallagher

Two British athletes born male are on the verge of making history by competing in women’s events at next month’s Olympic Games, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.

If selected, the unnamed pair will become the world’s first transgender Olympians at Rio.

But worryingly for British sports fans, they have revealed they are so fearful of being exposed and ridiculed under the Olympic spotlight, they would ‘probably drop back’ if they found themselves in a medal-winning position.

Their inclusion in Team GB will be hailed as a remarkable human rights victory – but it will also ignite controversy, with critics arguing that male-to-female competitors have an unfair biological advantage in terms of size, muscle mass and lung capacity.

>>Two possible solutions: (a) government-subsidized surgery to reduce their size, muscle mass and lung capacity, or (b) incarceration and torture of anybody with nerve enough to point out their obviously unfair advantage. <<

(b) is the only option. Liberal censorship is already in place so it is easy to extend it

The good thing about this is real women will no longer have any shot to win in any athletics. Once this realization sets in then real women can go back to the kitchen where they naturally belong anyway...

Most transgender guys are straight, which I find most baffling of all. How does dressing as a woman help you? They are so afraid of women or so unable to connect that they can only be male through dressing like a woman and feeling like one? Having women friends? Being able to at least shower with them?Thinking out loud here.

They’re fetishists.

For those who think this ‘is a good thing’ because it will expose the weirdness of western society which will then self-correct, think again. It will not. It will be accepted as all the other disastrous public policies and social changes have been accepted. So if you have a daughter in sports, get used to this.

Trans > Women in Sports

Also in Target changing rooms and everywhere else. But that's just part of it.

I'm sure we can come up with more.

Who needs performance enhancing drugs when you can put on a sports bra and call yourself a girl?

What a tragedy for those old Russian tranny shot-putters who had their medals yanked.

This is fascinating. The whole premise of the sexual revolution was, “Why can’t a woman be more like a man?” Now that the experiment has been run, the conclusion is that a woman can never be enough like a man. The only good “woman” really is a man.

I wonder what will happen next.

This is what was prophecied by the prophets of yore and an 12th century rabbi.

We are living in the period right before the end of days which begins 20SEP2017. You think that these past 50 years have been crazy...you ain’t seen nothin’ yet!

I moved to the mountians, well hills is more like it, last year from an urban area. I grew up in a rural area and always wanted to get back to it. It’s so much more peaceful and I seriously just feel healthier. I work from home though, so I’m fortunate, but I believe the corrupting force of liberalism will continue to spread until there are only pockets of conservative resistance. Eventually the pendulum will swing the other way, but I fear we are a long ways off from that point...

But.. but.. they've been saying all along that men and women are exactly the same. Oh, gasp!

The massive corruption in the Olympics, along with the mind-numbing NBC treatment by Costas and the Studio Snoozers, has made this once fun festival a bomb for me. This latest is the natural progression of the corruption, both financial and mental. It seems completely appropriate that it be held in a disaster like Rio.

Feeling the same way here. How can we just get back to normal again? Not sure if it is possible anymore.

I knew it would happen eventually, just didn’t think it would be this year!
