    Swimming's world governing body, FINA, has voted to restrict the participation of transgender athletes in elite women's competitions and create a working group to establish an "open" category for them in some events.
    ...
    The new policy, which takes effect Monday, will require transgender competitors to have completed their transition by age 12 to be able to compete in women's competitions. The working group will spend the next six months to determine how to set up the new open category, FINA said.

      No child should be transitioning at all by age 12, much less having completed the process.

              The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                    Good, the primary (if not only) victim when a male competes in a female sport, are females. Talk about an issue for Women's Rights organizations.

                        Transgender cyclists take gold AND silver medals at Chicago women's race

                        Two transgender cyclists have taken the top spots on the podium at the Chicago CycloCross Cup after triumphing in a women's race.

                        Tessa Johnson, 25, won first place in the women's SingleSpeed while Evelyn Williamson, 30, placed second in the race on October 7.

                        The transgender pair made headlines earlier this year for sweeping the competition at several women's races amid debate over the inclusion of transgender athletes in women's sports.

                        In the women's SingleSpeed race, Johnson took the gold and Williamson took silver, leaving only one biological female on the podium, Allison Zmuda, who won bronze.

                        Johnson also placed first in the women's Cat Half, winning $150 in prize money. Williamson placed fourth in that race, receiving a $75 prize.

                          In due caution, one should verify that they're not trolling.

                                Those blokes aren’t even trying to look like women. Maybe it is a troll.

                                Only non-witches get due process.

                                  Transgender Boxing.

                                  Boxers under the age of 18 must still compete as their birth gender.

                                  However, the policy goes on to explain that USA Boxing will now allow for transgender boxers to compete in the category of their choice.

                                  It continues: "A boxer who transitions from male to female is eligible to compete in the female category under the following conditions:

                                  "The athlete has declared that her gender identity is female and has completed gender reassignment surgery.

                                  So, the question is: How much body strength does a transgender woman (man?) have after "transitioning?"

                                  Corollary question: How long before a (genetic) woman gets a severe injury from a transgender "woman"?

                                  "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

                                  The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                                      It's still a boy fighting against a girl.

                                      They should be ashamed.
