I stopped reading at "masculinizing disorders."

FAIR ENOUGH.

THERE ARE ONLY TWO SEXES AND ONLY TWO GENDERS CAITLIN.

[hinkydoodle]

So...what about people with anal-cranial inversion? Do they need to have that corrected as well? Pull your heads out, committee members, jfc.

[rainbowjehan]

BUT THAT IS NOT A CHEATING, THUS THEY DO NOT NEED TO CORRECT FOR IT.

There's a point which they come really close to making which I think needs to be considered from a different angle-- that thing about "It's making a joke out of the classifications, there are TWO categories, male & female"-- okay, well if THAT'S the problem, perhaps that distinction, those specific binary categories, should be eliminated. I'm not a sports expert, but I think in boxing, weight-lifting, & wrestling - those types of athletics - they have different categories based on size (lightweight, heavyweight, etc.) - if having a woman with a masculine disorder (which makes me want to ask if being a man is a disorder? so much fodder for standup comedy in that...) makes it unfair to other women, why separate on that distinction? If she's so much stronger (or whatever the issue is) than other women (although I have to say, seriously, at this level of competition, it's unfair that she's physically more capable than others? Isn't that the point? Maybe if it was an elementary school competition, fairness would matter and everyone could

[rainbowjehan]

Yeah, there are a whole bunch of other gender and sex issues in here besides just the whole wimmins can't have men hormones, that's not fair. The idea that men and women should be separated in the first place because that's only right is kind of stupid to begin with, when men and women are equal in kinds of physical things. So. Yeah. This is all ridiculous.

[julietveiled]

And, leaving aside physical differences, & getting into a slightly different issue, WHY exactly are there separate men's & women's categories for the 100% non-physical competition of CHESS?

[rainbowjehan]

Ah, that is because we suck, my dear Roxana.

[mhari]

Sooooo next they're gonna cut the legs off the tallest basketball players, so's it's ~*~*fair to everyone*~*~, am I right?
