In the podium photo, the girl second on the left knows the deal.
Parents need to speak out publicly.
This is a hill to die on
Our daughters have a right to single-sex spaces, including sports. They are not unpaid therapists, there to “affirm” male delusion and fantasy.
The two guys on the right just don’t look like hippy chicks.
Three now that I made my window wider.
There could be package variation going on too.
Fu is female. The others not so much.
Where is that? Some sort of Asian games?
I think that something to do with the Olympics.
a stoush going on in Australia:
17 Nov: Daily Mail: Ian Thorpe comes under attack by anti trans-in-sport campaigner Katherine Deves as Australia’s most successful Olympian questions international trans swimming ban
by David Southwell
On Wednesday Thorpe stated he was against FINA’s position because he was ‘for fairness in sport, but I’m also for equality in sport. And in this instance, they’ve actually got it wrong.’
‘So when you run the numbers, someone who’s gone through the tough process and been able to transition to the sex that they determine for themselves is highly unlikely to ever be able to win an Olympic gold medal,’ Thorpe said...
The decision was welcomed by current Australian swimmers and Olympian gold medallists Cate Campbell and Emily Seebohm, who expressed concerns about the ‘fairness’ of competing against swimmers who had physiological male traits.
Ms Deves argued that allowing trans athletes to compete after the age of male puberty, when testosterone is released, conferred them a distinct advantage that was equivalent to doping.
‘If Ian Thorpe had to compete against a fellow male who was doping, 8-10% performance advantage, he would not be an Olympian,’ Ms Deves wrote.
‘But women are expected to tolerate a male with a 10-12% performance advantage by virtue of his sex?
‘A man with suppressed testosterone is not a woman.’...
Thorpe, who after retiring from competitive swimming in 2012 came out as gay in a nationally televised 2014 interview, said the issue of trans athletes needs to be considered from a broader and welfare-based approach...
Australia’s greatest Olympian gold medal winner, with five, also thought there was unjustifiable panic about trans children competing as their chosen gender.
‘If someone is complaining about someone who is trans when they happen to be 10 years of age, it is bizarre. I can almost promise you that child will not be competing at an adult stage,’ Thorpe said.
Ms Deves said biological sex can never be changed, regardless of what gender people choose to identify as...

‘It’s only because they have never competed against or fought a male.(nor should they)’
I remember Curtis Sliwa’s wife getting on tv some years ago, and bragging that her martial arts training enabled her to beat any man, no matter his skills at fighting...
and I remember thinking ‘no you can’t, babe...quit lying...’
I agree. Where’s the daddy balls?
Used to be guys would be embarrassed to compete in athletic events against girls. But shame is obsolete in 2022.
If they want to run as a female, then I say neuter them first.
Some wits should propose a transgender clause, that if one wins in a competition, getting money or a scholarship, then
they “trans back” in a period of time, say five years, they will retroactively forfeit their win, and must refund their scholarship money and other prizes.
Legally, I doubt it would fly, but I bet it would set up a cacophony of “wailing and gnashing of teeth” from the trans agitators.
The “intersex” athletes ruining high-level women’s athletics are males with DSD (Disorder of Sexual Development). DSD males have taken home at least four women’s track medals in the last two Olympics, displacing female athletes from medals, finals, and semi-final starts.
Rio 2016: Women’s 800m: DSD males sweep Gold, Silver, & Bronze. A female-free podium.
Tokyo 2021: Women’s 200m: DSD male takes Silver.
‘Sometimes it takes a man to do a woman’s job!’
Amy Schneider on Jeopardy, who’s won more money than any ‘woman’ on the show...
Fu is the only one with feminine features. I just found an interview with Liao on YouTube. The voice is very masculine.
And FC Dallas, a boys U-15 (under 15) team, beat the US Women’s National Soccer Team. And the 203rd ranked men’s tennis player destroyed both Venus and Serena Williams in back to back matches. It’s almost like men and women are physically different.
they have tried to address it with things like
” In its report, the committee recommended that no woman be allowed to compete as a woman if she has a testosterone level of 10 nmols/liter or more unless she has a documented testosterone-insensitivity (androgen resistance), which would render her testosterone non-functional, and thereby not contribute to muscle strength, speed, and other parameters of performance.”

10 nmols puts a normal woman into the you better look for ovarian cancer category. Mine was nowhere near that high and everyone thought I had ovarian cancer due to masses.
