Time to get rid of "male" and "female" sports? Just have everyone compete at humans. Probably time for the Oscars to get rid of actor and actress awards too. Let see who are the best, with no regard to gender.
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
I'll start believing all this crap about men becoming women when these men can magically start popping out babies (from whatever orifice they can)... otherwise these will always just be men who pretend to be women. If a human thinks he or she is a cat, every one of us would call that a mental disorder, but not in this case.
It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers−out of unorthodoxy
It is easy to see why transgenders are having so much difficulty being treated fairly and having a chance at achieving their dreams. They face bigotry and hatred on a regular basis. On the other hand it is heartening to see some of the thoughtful and balanced comments in this thread.

Hill, you might be projecting. I do not hate anyone.
fair would be having:

Can you show us some scientific evidence that a person born with female DNA has male instincts? If a person thinks they are a cat, do they have feline instincts or is it more likely they have a disorder in their brain?
