However trying to get in the way of people just trying to be happy? At the elite level there are probably quite a few unhappy people. And non team events in running, cycling, tennis and other sports where you are the one competing EVERYTHING is about you. Many of sporting greats destroy everything else in their lives in pursuit of being the best, famous, fastest, or whatever, so why should gender be any different? The doping epidemic is proof that people will do anything to be the best. So not allowing them to change their gender identify and the governing body is getting in their way, rut roh, now we have an issue.
Changing your gender physically to match how you feel on the inside is a bold choice, and we should be free to make these types of choices to be happy, and support our friends who make them. The outcome is not purely black and white though. Biologicaly you are still what you were born as, and 99% of the time this shouldn’t determine how you’re treated. In higher level sports though, it’s a different story. An athlete who was a man, undergoes the change, and still intensely trains, is going to have an advantage over the other ladies in certain sports because of biology and nature.
If Bruce decided to become Caitlyn before the 76 games, do you think it would have been fair to let him race with the ladies?
