So if I get a sex change, I can dominate the WNBA?

Caitlyn Jenner made her first appearance at a tournament pro-am post-transition this week at the ANA Inspiration. The famously competitive golfer didn’t disappoint, holing out for eagle on the first hole. American soccer star Abby Wambach, part of Jenner's group, cheered her on.

I can't be the only one who thinks this is dumb as hell, right?

[Trollsmasher]

yes

I think even Olympics now allow m to f trannies to compete in female events

it's funny because as far as I know, you don't even need to chop of your balls... claim is enough

[Fallguy20]

Do you asterisk those records that will be broken? It seems that if I can't beat Usain Bolt, I might as well make my mark somewhere else.

Headlines have read, "Caitlyn Jenner opens up golf debut as a woman with an impressive drive". It makes me wonder, are they saying that it is impressive (for a woman) or actually impressive? Either way, we have an issue.

[Nick Young]

Yes you can.

But women athletes would be against it and feminists would probably side with them.

[Real Men Wear Green]

How many good male athletes that would still be exceptional after an operation and getting estrogen or whatever they do with hormones are going to get a sex change so that they can play sports for a few years? I doubt this ever becomes a major issue. I know that there is no amount of money in the world that would get me to go through sex change. It's just not worth it.

Virtually every male athlete.

Nonsense. Guys would cheat and take steroids or something like that but almost no one is sacrificing his manhood. For a WNBA career? That's a joke. WNBA players don't even get that much money, many of them go overseas and get paid several times what they make over here.

What about tennis? A male tennis player ranked in the 200-300 would be a top 10 women's tennis player assuming the sex change doesn't effect their testosterone. Serena Williams made something like 25 million last year. I imagine a transwomen tennis player could make a few mill off of a top 10 ranking and advertisement.

If something like .3% of the population identifies as transgender then there is a chance that one male player out of say the top 500 identify as transwomen.

To start I did a little research. I think this link on the WTA transgender policy is legit. (http://www.gltf.org/ustatransgender)
And here is what it says they have to go through:


TRANSEXUALS

Any individuals undergoing sex reassignment from male to female before puberty are regarded as female, while those undergoing reassignment from female to male are regarded as male.

Individuals undergoing sex reassignment from male to female after puberty (and the converse) are eligible for participation in female or male competitions, respectively, under the following conditions:

1. Surgical anatomical changes have been completed, including external genitalia changes and gonadectomy.

2. Legal recognition of their assigned sex has been conferred by the appropriate official authorities.

3. Hormonal therapy appropriate for the assigned sex has been administered in a verifiable manner and for a sufficient length of time to minimize gender-related advantages in sport competitions.

4. Eligibility should begin no sooner than two years after gonadectomy.

On the league side of the equation, our stance is that we do not require confirmations of any of these 4 items. Above all, we do not want to be an obstacle to recreational participation. We seek to respect all backgrounds, lifestyles, and personal choices, and we take it on faith that players who compete under these rules are doing so not to gain a competitive advantage, but to enjoy participating in a manner in which they are comfortable.I cannot guess what effect two years of going around without your genitals, a set of fake tits, and feminizing hormones would have on an athlete. But if someone is willing to go through all of that I'm not going to stand in their way. As it stands I'd say the proof is in the pudding as almost no one is doing this.

Possible in theory, but who is it?

Oh you mean WOULD an athlete do that. Of course not!

I thought you were saying "IF a male athlete did that WOULD they still be able to beat a woman?"

my bad brah

[TYCRO]

yes

They actually need to meet certain criteria based on hormone treatment.

[CP3PO]

OP, don't make such drastic life decisions because you can't beat other guys at basketball.

Interesting...
Does anyone know a tranny they can ask to see if strength and conditioning goes down after sex change?

Why not taking it from the horses mouth, Renee Richards who after transitioning was a top 20 player on the WTA tour in her mid-40s.


The science of distinguishing men from women in sports remains unsettled. And Richards has come to believe that her past as a man did provide her advantages over competitors. “Having lived for the past 30 years, I know if I’d had surgery at the age of 22, and then at 24 went on the tour, no genetic woman in the world would have been able to come close to me. And so I’ve reconsidered my opinion.” She adds, “There is one thing that a transsexual woman unfortunately cannot expect to be allowed to do, and that is to play professional sports in her chosen field. She can get married, live as woman, do all of those other things, and no one should ever be allowed to take them away from her. But this limitation—that’s just life. I know because I lived it.” link (http://www.slate.com/articles/sports/sports_nut/2012/10/jewish_jocks_and_ren_e_richards_the_life_of_the_tr anssexual_tennis_legend.html)


Allowing male to female transsexuals to participate on a level playing field in sports is a very dumb, sentimental, anti-scientific policy. It will only take one top athlete to transition for it to be all be invalidated.

Dumb?

I think it's fair.

So when equality important then? Just when it comes to bathrooms? So not sports? Cause you can't argue for one and not the other without being a hypocritical.

I assume there was a policy but the article also states:

"On the league side of the equation, our stance is that we do not require confirmations of any of these 4 items."

So basically anyone can do it. I would love to see it happen for the LULzzzz. Imagine some dude ranked in the top 300 with a beer gut, a fake wig, fake tits and grabbing his crotch after every serve. It would be a sight to see. Then the reactions of the feminists and transrights activists would be priceless.

It's a shitty reason to get a sex change, but don't let that stop you. Empower your inner woman :cheers:
