TH: Being a really great female athlete just got harder.
It also must really stink about now.
Title IX can’t even fix this.
The International Olympic Committee (which has had an impossible task of keeping performance enhancing drugs out of the systems of their athletes) has now sanctioned that men (complete with genitalia given at birth) will be allowed to compete against women.
The IOC believes that men who lower their testosterone level by a certain percent for a defined length of time have become sufficiently “female enough” to get to run, race, box, lift, jump, skate, etc against exclusively other women.
So now the organization that was caught looking the other way while Russia and China merely had a few athletes using some hard to detect performance enhancers, are now also expected to know and read hormone balances within the athlete’s composition to be able to determine if a male in every manner of speaking is sufficiently hormonal enough to be allowed to compete as a woman.

This decision was made in case a few people still took the olympics seriously.
Women will always be dominant in the menstrual cycling event…
We have the ‘Special Olympics’ for the physically handicapped, why not a ‘fabulous Olympics’ for the mentally ill?
“female enough,” like 97%, assuming the berries and twig are left, is that similar enough? If that’s enough then there’s no stopping orangutans from competing as a male or female human because they are 97% similar to humans.
The Olympics going the way of the Nobel prize…no longer relevant, no one cares anymore.
That Canadian athlete is sporting some serious androgyny.
I’m stumped!
As a guy none of this has a direct impact on me. Women in the restroom? Whatever. Women competing as men? Good luck. It certainly bothers me that men can now enter womens’ restrooms at will, putting others at greater risk. But the sports angle, well all it’s doing is destroying womens’ sports. Title IX too. Mens’ survives unscathed.
Only when they bring back Lion and Bull wrestling, where they have to climb on the animal and choke it out like Hercules.
Only then will I pay attention to this nonsense.
When I was a youngun I remember my mother quoting Irish
historian, Standish O’ Grady, who predicted that in the future we will not be able to distinguish men from women. Then when she saw a photo of Kathryn Helpburn in slacks she said. “See he’s right.” Ah Mom,little did you know just how right he was. RIP
I love watching women’s figure skating, gymnastics, swimming, and track & field.
SPECIFICALLY because the aren’t sporting balls.
Oh well. Vote for Hillary – she has a vagina!
Say goodbye to the Olympic Games.
So what, East Germany was doing the same for women for years.
left coast dan- exactly!
title IX used to destroy women’s sports – how appropriate.
hey if the left can pervert the constitution to say that abortion and same sex marriage are in there I cannot imagine what they have found in the title IX legislation.
We already have the gay olympics. Let’s let the T’s go compete against the LGB’s. Problem solved!
Now drug use is ok for olympic athletes
has the whole fucking world gone crazy? Why have sex designation at all if the OLYMPIC COMMITTEE holds to this idiotic idea.
Any man desiring to compete against women should once and for all prove that it is not a man.
On the bright side maybe this can be used to destroy Title IX.
Too late for Greg Lubed-anus. He could have won many more diving medals against the ladies.
Bring back Bruce Jenner and his Buster Brown shoes. That person looks more masculine than Bruce did in this old commercial.

Like the Bruce Jenner edition Buster Brown shoes, Bruce is now padded on top.
I remember the Wheeties boxes and commercials, but had no idea he was pushing Buster Brown shoes.
What happens if it gets a boner after winning the women’s swim events?
