Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites CanuckInUSA 0 #58 August 2, 2006 You guys are going off on a tangent here (not surprising this is SC) and if people want to talk about whether society should accept transgendered people and/or what happens to a marriage when someone gets SRS, maybe a new thread should be started. This thread should be about whether this woman (yes she is a woman even though she wasn't born female) should be allowed to compete in womens pro downhill mountain bike racing. The current Canadian governing body of her sport says she is allowed to compete since they've issued her a pro license (I'm not sure if there is a World Governing body to that sport and where it stands on the issue). But I do have the view that if enough of her competitive peers think that she shouldn't be competing, then maybe she shouldn't be competing (even though it appears that she has less testosterone in her body than genetic females have and maybe her peers need to be educated as to what sort of performance changes her body has been through since her transition). I know one thing, I'm not good enough to compete in a womens pro downhill mountain biking race (even if I was female which I'm not). There's more to racing than one's gender. But if enough genetic female competitors think it's a bad idea for Michelle to be competing at this elite level, then maybe she shouldn't be competing. The decision should be made by her peers, not any of us.
