Transgender sues Crossfit to compete
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/03/08/tra...mpetition/

Quote:A transgender woman in Northern California has sued the company behind the popular CrossFit workouts for refusing to let her compete in the female division of its annual fitness competitions.

One lawyer points out the obvious
Quote:The fundamental, ineluctable fact is that a male competitor who has a sex reassignment procedure still has a genetic makeup that confers a physical and physiological advantage over women," Saran wrote in a letter to McCoy that's linked to the discussion board. "That Chloie may have felt herself emotionally, and very conscientiously, to be a woman in her heart, and that she ultimately underwent the legal and other surgical procedures to carry that out, cannot change that reality."

Saran said CrossFit may create a separate division for transgender athletes if enough step forward to compete.

"Our decision has nothing to do with `ignorance' or being bigots - it has to do with a very real understanding of the human genome, of fundamental biology, that you are either intentionally ignoring or missed in high school," he said.

I like that last paragraph. However, they're still ready to acquiesce to absurd requests.

The same can be said for the transgendered MMA fighter. I heard Joe Rogan say the exact same thing and even said: Men have a genetic make up that will allow them to endure more of a beating in a sport like this than women. Not saying women can't, but a man's bone structure is more apt to take the punishment.

You know what would be embarrassing.

Him being a man trapped in a woman's body, becoming a woman, and then being outworked/lifted by women.

I've watched CrossFit games, I've done CrossFit.. It ain't a joke, it's a damn workout.

Anything they can cry about to try to get money... Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-thetic. These are Lazy Tom's people.

"CrossFit's general counsel, Dale Saran, would not comment on the lawsuit, which seeks $2.5 million in damages."

Joe Rogan has talked about this when trannies try to compete in MMA. M to F trannies do have an advantage. Their muscle fiber is different. They have a faster reaction time. They can readily produce more testosterone which bulks up their frame and adds muscle mass faster and more densely. If .. errr .. she wants to compete ... she should only be able to do so in an all gender or male class.

If enough men turn into women and go on to compete in women's sports then naturally born women will get squeezed out. Is this what we want?

Clearly this calls for the creation of Title IX of Title IX.
