Transgender athletes at the Olympics
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has decided to allow transgender athletes to compete in the 2018 Winter Olympics. According to the new regulations, athletes will no longer be required to compete in a category matching their birth gender. Also, there will be no gender testing of the participants.
I hope feminists will enjoy themselves during 2018 Winter Olympics, to be held in South Korea, since it's rather obvious that no biological women would want to take part in men's events. What we' ll have is men competing as women. I wonder who'll win!?
As if this was not enough, a Japanese organization is preparing a Pride House, which will welcome LGBT athletes and fans coming to the Tokyo Olympics 2020.
I don't know about fans, but I was under the impression that athletes go the Olympics to, you know, compete, show what their worth, win medals, not to parade their sexual orientation.
I don't care if you're gay or lesbian or whatever. It's a sports event and maybe you should focus on that.

Perhaps, if any biological men (can't believe I'm having to put 'biological' in there!) were to enter the women's events, the women should drop out of the competition,
Or if people really want to make a mockery of what should just be a sporting event, why not go ahead and add a third category for transgender instead?
What is this world coming to? 😩
Question is does that make it unfair for all the women events?
Olympics are a joke, they've become all about the marketing and ads. Without taking in consideration all the doping and drug scandals, they voted to take out sports like freestyle wrestling ( original event of the ancient Greece Olypmics) but are adding all these shooting and minor sports events because they have big sponsors behind them.
They should put " feminist lamentation" as a sport in the Olympics, then we can have a big laugh and avoid this steroid and money theater all together.

Of course the Olympics now have to be politicized as well. Let's ignore simple biology and basic common sense and let's allow men to compete with women all in the spirit of tolerance. It doesn't matter that this mentally ill man has a totally different muscular structure, male DNA and is biologically stronger. God forbid, he might get offended if he's disallowed to compete with the opposite sex. This type of politics basically leads to an eradication of women's sports in general. What's the point of holding a female competition when everyone knows from the start who's gonna win anyways?
