Okay, I watched the Olympics, I’m particularly interested in track events because I was a star athlete in high school and college. My mom likes swimming events, having made the US Olympic swim team in 1964. My brother, also a high school track star, noticed that the winning times in track for women they were similar to the ones he had run in high school, actually a bit. 3 seconds slower, for example, in the 800 meters. Okay, let’s talk about the transgender issue in sports and the controversy of the South African girl who won her race and got a gold medal, but some have said, “It’s just not fair because by all accounts and purposes she’s a Hears.”
Now, regardless of the Olympic Committee’s finding on this issue, what about the future; Would it be fair if male athletes suddenly decided they were women? What happens if a man has his male genitalia removed? Could he compete in the women’s events? Why even ask the question, you ask?
Well, I mean, with all the political correctness, you’d think we’re all “the same” in every way, right? That you should use the bathroom of your choice, whatever you feel like, based on your perception of your identity? Well, if so, you should be able to compete as a woman even if you were born a man.
We know that there is about 1.2% of the human population that is biologically a bit off, this is normal in all species meaning they may have some male and some female parts or their hormonal flow is out of place in your body parts: biological gender designation. , which is probably more the case with the South African sprinter who has tested more men than women. For this, we must be careful how we classify, or even disqualify an athlete, after all, it would not be his fault that he was born a certain way, would it? And actually, this is the basis of part of the argument for allowing transgender athletes to compete in whatever gender category they see fit.
However, in our attempt to be fair to all involved, we run into trouble when we pit men against women in the same sport, as it is not fair to all those years of hard work to be denied a metal or have to compete against the anatomically strongest gender of our species. In fact, we must also be fair to those who are different and inclusive, as these people are a “normal” and expected minority of any species, from insects (Butterfly Research) to humans, and all kinds of species in between that have ever existed. studied by biologists – there will always be a small percentage in this category and we should and must celebrate that diversity, not condemn it, because that is the right thing to do.
Well now, I ask; Should I as a man be allowed to compete in the Women’s Olympics, break world records and collect all the gold medals in the Middle Distance races? Of course not, regardless of what body parts you cut out. Think about it.
