I do remember saying it. You responded to my latest post, not that post. We were talking about whether ftm trans have broken records. You want to just assume that they have. I say there aren't any records of it that I know of. You say they aren't the new kids on the block and that they have been doing this since at least the 50s, which has fuck all to do with whether they've set any records, and does make them the new kids on the block. The Olympics have been around for thousands of years.
Again, you're just arguing with yourself. You don't have any sources where a ftm has set or broken a record, then piss off. Conjecture from you is worth about as much as dried up dog shit to me.
Try reading my posts properly for once. I have only ever said that we do not know whether transsexuals have been competing and breaking records.You are both simultaneously straw-manning me and adopting my position once called out on your assumptions. I only said that transsexuals have been transitioning since the 50's. After all, for all we know MTFs might have been competing since the 50's and not doing very well. After all, I did say

Whereas you're saying that FTMs are definitely not setting records.
