You’re probably right, sadly.

That’s a good question. They might try and limit the number of male winners to one of the first three places.

This says something about women though. Their nature of collective agreeableness makes it very difficult to break free from the group think. Men need to be calling this out, loud and clear.

It’s disgraceful for a man to be appropriating what it is to be a woman. They can never go through child birth, so they’ll never have my respect - only disdain for taking advantage of weak women.

Thank the Good Lord that, despite pills and surgery, XX will always be XX and XY will always be XY.

Fake women deserve NO place in women’s sports.

So, is today’s world OK with the NAZIS allowing a man, Henrich Ratjen, to run as a woman in the 1936 Olympics?

What other things that the nazis did will soon be A-OK in today’s world.

WARNING....
Below is a police photo of Ratjen when he was arrested by German Police. One is him NUDE so be warned, the other is how he was dressed when arrested. You can see he is definitely NOT a woman.

The East Germans did it for years.

That photo reminds me of this one in which a man won the women’s competition with the blessings of the NAZIS in 1938.

Yes, but it was later rescinded and his name removed from the records. He was apparently a hermaphrodite............

Maybe he was but the photo shows him clearly to have a man’s body.

That’s why I don’t care anymore. The women let themselves be used as props. Why bother competing? If the real girls stuck together and refused to join in the charade they would stop this crap immediately.

Reminds of a movie I just watched called Blue Max (1961). An aviator during WWI is so obsessed with winning the Blue Max pin for 20 kills that he claims kills that were actually not his. To see that smug “person” on the 1st place podium is embarrassing.
