"A golfer who was born a hermaphrodite ..."

I would have to side with the golfer - *SHE* should be allowed to play as a female.

This is not one of those I "feel" like a woman therefore I ..... wierdos.

This person was one of the rarities that are born with a defect that makes the "true sex" non-distinguishable until they begin to mature and their true-self begins to emerge.

There have been many "doctor's choice" operations of selecting a male-path at birth and the brain turns out female, and vice versa.

I disagree.

What's between their legs matters not. Whether or not the fetal brain was flooded with testosterone by virtue of a Y-chromo is what casts the die.
