Fair? In a word, NO! Only let they who have two X chromosomes compete.

Depends on what the rules were when the race started - if this was permitted than this nothing but a bowl of sour grapes by a loser that did not read or understand the rules.

Some people need to stop whining about "fair". The Universe is not a fair place and owes you nothing.
Evil cannot create anything new, it can only corrupt and ruin what good forces have created or made.

If that's a woman, maybe we can fix you up with a date. :mrgreen: if it was permitted, then the rules are f*cked.

Anyone capable of rational thought is quickly aware of that.

Did not state that it was anything one way or the other; read the rules of the contest and either accept them or don't participate. Loser chose to complain..... Wait! That makes her totally normal for her generation - everything is someone else's fault and I need to complain about it....

There's a serious shortage of rational thought going on now.

Was it clear to anyone what the born-female women actually felt about the arrangement? That's who I would want to hear from or about.

The rules and regulations adopted by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) make it legal for the man to compete as a woman. IF the women want to compete they have no choice but to agree to the rules.

The "man" that won the race is Dr. Rachel McKinnon a Professor of Philosophy at the College of Charleston

This trans person is obviously just a mediocre athlete at best for their birth gender. On Twitter, they use their mediocre past stats as an excuse for why it was “fair” for them to win the race... so a mediocre male-to-female athlete has the “right” to be the champion over females when they never would have stood a chance against men who were also born with the same natural physical advantages. Kind of takes the meaning out of the word “champion,” don’t you think? Like a 12th grader being “champion” in a race against 6th graders... and then using his poor previous race times against those same 6th graders as proof that it was “fair” and that he should be allowed to race against the kids in elementary school. Heck, this same hypothetical 18-year-old could have failed 6 grades and could actually be a documented 6th grader. But he doesn’t need to be racing 11-year-olds.

Thanks for that qualification -- They chose to compete and lost and then chose to complain.

Boo-hoo.

Next time, don't show up.

Yep, so much for SECTION IX girls sports. They are just going have to get use to competing against the boys. I mean transgender boys. :?: And they will have get used to sharing the locker room and toilets also.......

On so many levels, Rufus, you selected the right blinking "Boo-hoo" sign as a reply.
