Is this fair?
#12
RE: Is this fair?
I don't care about women's weight lifting, I'm not that concerned about transgender issues.

If you care about women's weight lifting then it's probably not fair because this person has had the advantage of being a man.
Men are physically stronger than women and built with stronger bones and so on.
But then there's racial differences in strength and build of bodies I just don't think the disparity is as great.

I imagine the whole point of womens weight lifting is so they stand a chance of competing which they wouldn't against men, but then you get transsexuals or women with abornormal amounts of testosterone that complicate the issue.

If I was a transsexual in this persons position I'd feel like a bit of a cheater if I was a man for years and now all of a sudden I'm competing against women.
It's kind of a strange situation, weight lifters normally do everything they can to boost testosterone and now there's a man who wants to be a woman who still wants to lift very heavy objects competitively


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.
