from my point of view, everything was not great because it was ugly what happened when men ran instead of women or with the opening ceremony. Something like that is inadmissible, I say that, but otherwise it was beautiful.

Organizing the Olympic Games is a very complicated task and in France everything was done at a very high level. Of course there were gaffes that caused a lot of controversy. The opening of the Olympic Games was shocking and highly criticized by everyone. What caused the most debate was the participation of transgender athletes. Some complaints from athletes that their sleeping beds were made of cardboard went viral on social media. Despite this, the organization was at a very high level.

They always find sth to complain , in every organisation , that's not sth new .
I read sth about transgender athletes in the previous post cocozza . That's sth that troubled me since the first time.e that I heard that these athletes compete in the Olympics . I ve seen some ex male athletes , now women , competing with other women . It's really strange . Especially SB who was a man before , now to compete against women. I wonder what are the rules about such a case . What characteristics must this transgender male have in order to allow him to compete against another sex , especially a (ex) male against female

My previous post might seem a little homophobic. But it's not . What I say is that males should compete against males and females against females . A transgender should be examined thoroughly and see the biology and muscle condition if it's good enough to compete against a certain gender
If he is a male , he has strong male muscles , but he feels woman , of course he shouldn't compete against women , it would be unfair . If he changed his gender for sure , meaning his genitals , still he or she needs to be examined .
A boxer transgender with male muscles and body , to compete against a woman it would be unfair . I think that this has happened
I watched sone critics about other cases , not about sex , but about disabilities . Some athletes disabled , using peg legs specially disagned for running , whether these legs give them an edge and can run faster . Just Some thoughts ...

Why ''oh god ''?
Really . Lately I watched a boxing match between women rivals , and one of them had masculine muscles and characteristics, her whole body didn't remind a woman Ofcourse they take hormones or steroids or I don't know what else . But you never know . She might be a woman who before was male . That is unfair and freaks me out .
Ok over and out . Let's let this thread rest in peace . Let's not resurrect it anymore , obviously you don't like it
BTW , I also write in a other forum . There they resurrect many times threads which originally were created and started 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 or even 10 years ago !!! And they say the same things again and again and again . Sometimes the OOP has been banned , but the others keep on posting , answering to him , as if he is going to read their posts and answer . 100% retard behaviour . Lol
So , as you can see , there are worse things than keeping on talking on a thread that was created a month ago . No such big deal imo You should relax a little . And anyway we don't have many threads , so , no reason to worry
