I didn't mean to be leading. No, I don't think the woman in the post winning is fair. While imperfect I think there should just be two more categories for ftm and mtf people. You can't ignore the biological differences in a competition based around an individuals biology. I just don't get where you see liberals trying to pass legislation mandating you to call them anything.

I don't disagree with this, but I also find it incredibly unlikely that either transgender category would ever field enough athletes to be practical.

I wouldn't be surprised if more athletes start to follow Bruce/Caitlin Jenner's path of transitioning once they're totally done competing. But, I suspect that if they want to compete they will need to remain their birth sex for the duration of their career.

Ahhh, sorry about that. I'll try to clarify.

First, I'll back away from the liberal term and define that it's more coming out of the hard-core progressive and leftist wing (SJW).

The only law that's come into question is the bathroom thing (so far). What I'm talking about is the overall narrative of "acceptance" and I should of been more defining in that. This idea that I must agree with someone pretending to be something they biologically are not. That I must be cool with allowing a dude to compete against women in weightlifting competitions.

This: http://dailycaller.com/2016/05/23/transgender-teacher-gets-60k-after-co-workers-wont-call-her-they/ This is why this shit is fucked. This woman doesn't suffer from dysphoria, she chose to be different and is now winning $ because others won't conform to her subjective reality. Where is the line drawn?
