I very much doubt that anyone would change genders for the *sole* reason to win some sports trophy. <BR/><BR/>Related, this is getting to be an issue at women's colleges. Smith dropped gendered language, which many found distressing: it *is* a women's college, after all. At my own undergrad, we had several FTM students. A few transferred because (1) a man doesn't belong at a women's college and (2) a man doesn't need a degree from a women's college on his resume. The others remained, not without a lot of controversy. <BR/><BR/>AllisonA.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00293780005404059775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5965519181464621574.post-31982207691042794802009-03-22T10:54:00.000-05:002009-03-22T10:54:00.000-05:00A person shpould be allowed to live the life they ...A person shpould be allowed to live the life they choose not some narrow minded rules.Mike Golchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14472496241893921107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5965519181464621574.post-35239076166772269112009-03-22T09:18:00.000-05:002009-03-22T09:18:00.000-05:00I agree with Dana and Isabella.

I see a whole lot of people missing the entire point here because they are so eager to jump to this girl's defense. No one wants to be the bad guy and admit that there is a valid point.<BR/><BR/>There is division in competitive sports for a reason, and it's not because someone has their panties in a wad over what's in your panties. It's fairness regarding the limits that *can* be created by the extreme difference in muscle mass. Outside of the competitive sports arena, it definitely shouldn't matter to anyone how she defines herself, but it becomes a sticky wicket in regards to competition. There ISN'T an easy answer.Biscuithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07214037983461918187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5965519181464621574.post-90935260184334514592009-03-22T08:10:00.000-05:002009-03-22T08:10:00.000-05:00I think in competitive athletics, we need some sor...I think in competitive athletics, we need some sort of criteria.
