This is an interesting debate, to be honest. These are not guys that "identify" as women.  They were born with two X chromosomes AND a Y.  I totally agree that it's not fair to the women they compete against, as they produce more testosterone.  It's also not fair to them to ban them, as they were born with female anatomy.  I tend to side with being fair to the majority in this situation, as there are gender divisions in sports because of the obvious advantage that testosterone creates, but this is certainly a far more complicated issue than simply saying "a dude just won the 800".

The Germans were doping.  These women are competing the way they were naturally born.  I'm not saying it's fair, but they aren't cheating.

They were banned from competition after their tests showed their testosterone levels were 3 times a normal woman's level.  They sued then were allowed to compete as long as they took estrogen.  Shockingly when they took estrogen they didn't win the races!  

They sued again and now they can run against whoever they want so no one is offended.  I'm not sure how you know what the do or don't have between their legs since it is a medical exam and has never been released.  On another note, The person that won looks just like RG3.

I know they were thoroughly examined by doctors, so if they were packing heat, they would've been banned completely.  Regardless, they were not cheating.  Their testosterone occurs naturally.  As I said before, I don't think they should be allowed to compete with the women, but it's unfair to compare them to dopers.

I didn't compare them to dopers.  I compared them to men.

      What the writer stated wrt crossover votes in the primary/runoff: "Covey and his supporters Paxton and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said Phelan only won because Democrats crossed over to vote in the Republican Primary for him. Paxton said Covey’s campaign identified “at least” 1,442 Democrats who voted early in Jefferson County in the primary runoff. Texas does not have party registration, but a voter’s primary voting history is public. The Covey campaign has not released its methodology behind its claim, but  This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up  by The Texan news website found that 9% of Republican voters in the March District 21 primary had voted in one of the previous four Democratic primaries. However, only 5% of that group had voted in all four previous Democratic primaries. What Phelan’s opponents did not mention is historically Democratic Jefferson County is undergoing a political transition towards the Republican party — the county judge switched his affiliation to the GOP in 2017 — so many residents have a mixed primary voting history. And Phelan’s allies in the House dismissed the idea that liberals swung the election. "I knocked on doors, hundreds and hundreds of doors, made calls for Dade,” Republican Rep. Jeff Leach, R-Plano, said on Mark Davis’ radio program Wednesday. “I did not speak to a single Democrat down here in HD21. Not a single one." "

      He's with it enough to do what he's told, beginning day 1 when he signed the order to revoke the Keystone Pipeline project.  But more recently, he's protecting the DOJ, as well as himself ...  This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up

      Most 75-80 year Olds have some type of cognitive impairment. If you are asking if Biden has dementia then my answer is no. That is a Republican talking point. If you all think he has dementia what type do you think he has?
