A strong willed female coworker of mine was PISSED today bc she heard Lynsey Sharp's post raise interview about the gender/testosterone/chromosome nonsense that's going on...
And thinks it's justifiable for these "females" to be racing. How do I explain the issues that this creates to a non-runner??
She compared it to Johnny Weir figure skating... Wtf??
Say that in sport there is the women category and the men category. Hence, there must be some criterion to decide who can compete in the women category.
At the same time, all the arguments like "but Bolt has long legs" are wrong because there is no category based on leg's lenght.

Why do so many people say Bolt has long legs and Phelps has big feet like it's the same thing?
I have no idea. BTW, also the great Stanford bioethics professor and sport columnist Katrina Karkazis always uses this wrong argument (stupid or trying to mislead stupid people?).
Tell her she's right.

Why would you lie to her?

Good question: why?
You need to ask yourself that question since you proposed the idea.
As Sally so eloquently points out... Apparently a strong willed female cannot be swayed of her opinion. This is probably a zero sum game. Thanks for the suggestions...

Sally didn't understand neither my answer neither the OP. It's pretty embarassing.
She dudes have a better chance of being faster like 7 footers have a better chance of being better basketball players.
I sure as hell didn't understand that reply. Is English your second language?
Sally, do you think Bruce Jenner is still eligible for a Moobs contest?

It was actually harder for me to explain Rupp stopping to hold Mo Syringes' hand after a stiff breeze blew him over in front of Rupp.

Surprising she would be pissed because Sharp didnt really say anything inflamatory, it was just her heartfelt feelings so how can you blame her for that. Its just who she is.
All I know is your coworker is a bi*** and isn't worth your aknowledgement.
