LGBT & the Olympics
How so you guys think transgenders should participate in the Olympics? Do you think they should compete witht he gender they are born as or the gender they changed to? Or should they just add more groups like M to F trans?
Edit: I personally dont think trans people should be allowed to participate in the Olympics

Edited by Zonda: 3/4/2015 10:58:42 AMAny benefits to performance by being a Transgender in a Women's event would be minuscule at the Elite level (I think 5% Power output at the most). It wouldn't be worth it for Athletes after an "easy" win to change their Gender, as there is less coverage, and therefore sponsorship, of Female events, especially at World Championship events outside the Olympics. I say they should be allowed to compete as their current Gender, but I don't think I've seen any Transgenders at an Olympic event, aside from a 2006(?) controversy about whether a Woman who broke a 100m World record (sprint or hurdles) was a Hermaphrodite. Either way, I don't see it as a problem in Sports. Not least of all at the Elite level.
