Third Gender

theguardian.com: British Olympians call for IOC to shelve ‘unfair’ transgender guidelines

The International Olympic Committee’s guidelines for transgender athletes are unfair on female athletes and should be suspended while more research is carried out, according to a group of former and current Team GB athletes surveyed by an academic.

In the survey of 15 female British Olympians, most of them answering anonymously, 11 also agreed with the view that “it can never be fair for transgender athletes who have been through male puberty to compete in female sport”, with another declining to answer.

What the women are saying makes perfect sense. Going through male puberty changes a human body. Even if a person later takes hormones for many years, some of those changes are permanent such as bone structure, build, etc.

To see what amounts to abuse of women athletes by deluded people trying to force “equality” and “fairness” of transgenders is sad.

I highly recommend reading the Wikipedia article Third Gender. It seems like only Western society is having all these problems with transgenderism. Other cultures have no issues with it.

While found in a number of non-Western cultures, concepts of “third”, “fourth”, and “some” gender roles are still somewhat new to mainstream western culture and conceptual thought. The concept is most likely to be embraced in the modern LGBT or queer subcultures. While mainstream western scholars – notably anthropologists who have tried to write about Native American and South Asian “gender variant” or two-spirit people – have often sought to understand the term “third gender” solely in the language of the modern LGBT community, other scholars – especially Indigenous scholars – stress that mainstream scholars’ lack of cultural understanding and context has led to widespread misrepresentation of third gender people, as well as misrepresentations of the cultures in question, including whether or not this concept actually applies to these cultures at all.
