Caster Semenya is a different story. Even if she has internal testes she probably didn't know for a long time. So it seems to me that she came into the problem honestly.

Semenya always knew his condition, and if you believe that he didn't then he certainly knows now, and yet he persists in competing in women's events, in spite of the fact he's a man, and in spite of the fact that he's allowed to take drugs, which should disqualify him from competing at all, against anyone, woman or man.

I just read this as well and you are an actual idiot.

She is "allowed to take drugs" that INHIBIT HER PERFORMANCE. They make her worse.

You are one of these morons that think elites should die before taking medicine because they are a runner and drugs are banned.

"And while Beggs' family has said he wanted to compete against boys, UIL deputy director Jamey Harrison, who refused to address Beggs directly, said the UIL had not received a request to change divisions from any athlete at this competition."

Clearly a matter of applying for a TUE .

Which then becomes tricky as as not on RTP then would only need one if had a test .

But as we know a target test should take place and then the TUE would follow .

What USAda would then do would be fun as rebalancing of hormones is not allowed but then if a medical condition it would be ok .

More legal fun and expenses for the world of WADA.

If it weren't for politically correct bull**** being stuffed down our throats, this would just be a story about a drug cheat.

Nice ignorant post.

This person was born a girl and was told to wrestle girls.

The problem is that the the wrestler openly took PEDs to win.

This issue is can you have a Therapeutic Use Exception that gives you a clear physical advantage?

I'm not sure if it's OK to let a girl take testosterone and compete against boys, let alone girls.

I don't want to infringe on people's rights to be happy and identify the way the want, but maybe people need to make a choice of whether they want too take drugs or if they want to compete in sports.

Is there a rule allowing an athlete to file such a request?

I don't know if there is a rule that allows an athlete to request to change divisions but the state made a law that a person must be associated with the gender of their birth.

The state law said Beggs could not compete as a boy.

If you're trolling, you win the all-time make-yourself-look-dumb title. The wrestler was born FEMALE. If you're not trolling, the "-tarrrd" [sic] part of your handle is truly self-referential: your comprehension skills are severely 'tarded.

I'm very much for LGBTQ rights as in liquor, guns, bacon and tits any questions?

The law requiring HS kids to compete according to their Birth Certificate Gender was enacted as of August 1st in Texas. Which shows they are grasping to hold any power they can before the progressive movement covers everyone and we realize how backwards and oppressive our society has been while we have ignored the problems.

So is she eligible for an NCAA female scholarship? Is there wm wrestling at the collegiate level?

I am actually in favor of regulations limiting what gender an athlete can compete under.

A boy who identifies as a girl still has physical advantages over girls and should not be able to compete in a girls division and my reason is simply because it is not fair competition.

This particular issue is a PED issue.

I am in favor of protecting girls sports which is a much larger scope than transgender sports.

We may need to change sport categories from male or female to open or female.

Like age groups.

There are junior, masters and open. Everyone can compete in the open category.

Testosterone would normally disqualify a person from competition.

Now, if they don't have formal PED testing in high school girls wrestling, there may not be anything to do here to change the result.

I don't have a problem with the kid, since he said he wants to wrestle boys. I do, however, have a problem with the state. He obviously has no business competing for a girls' championship.

This is a simple situation.

1) kid is a transgender boy

2) he WANTS to compete against other boys

3) dumb adults (who ought to know better) prevented that from happening, leading to

4) absurd results

Our society is oppressive because we use simple biology to determine competition categories in sports? I suppose someone who qualifies for the heavyweight division should be able to wrestle in the lightweight division if he imagines himself to be smaller than he actually is.

Some of you clowns cannot even read.

He wants to wrestle against boys but the state of texas will not let him.

trumptard fail

This kid was born a girl, wants to be a boy, wants to wrestle in the boys' division, and is taking steroids to become a boy. Texas state law forbids any child competing in a gender not on the birth certificate but apparently allows children on steroids to compete with children not on steroids. So, this outrageous spectacle of a girl on steroids competing with girls is totally courtesy of Texas Republicans.

I didn't see a solution there.

Are you saying that the simple solution is that the adults shouldn't have prevented the kid from competing against boys?

The law prevents them from doing that.

Are you saying the simple solution is to have the law changed?

Break the law?

Do you even have issues with the testosterone injections?

Is it really so simple?

I want to know what law allows a doctor to prescribe a perfectly healthy MINOR female enough testosterone to "turn her into a boy"?
