Olympics?

So... will the olympics of the future just be transwomen competing against each other? The Rachael McKinnon win seems to open the gates for it. It seems so counter intuitive that women's sport would just be allowed to be taken over, but, the way things are going I can actually imagine it happening

Oh and any guesses for who holds the women's decathlon Olympic record?

I think from memory trans women can already compete in the olympics as the ruling which only requires a lower testosterone level was introduced for 2016.

Also spectators could help by booing trans winners, unfurling banners, chanting etc. Shame the cheating bastards - although I suppose if you are stunning and brave enough to enter a women's event there is nothing that can shame you.....

Like everything with this whole shitstorm, it will be up to individual women to put their sporting careers and reputations on the line in order to stand up to legalised cheating. And as we have seen, the trans mafia will happily trash any woman who dares to do that. It is so unfair.

I think if it comes down to transwomen being able to compete in the female category in many Olympic sports and/or in world championships, the general public will not be having any of it. There will be the initial morbid curiosity to watch transfolk compete, but that will soon pass and everyone will soon get bored watching men beat women in women's sports. And if the viewers are turning off then the sporting bodies will hopefully quickly see sense.

I had a little vision in my head of all the women lining up at the starting blocks for a race. There is also one trans woman who will be racing against them. As the whistle goes for the women to start the race they all band together in solidarity whip off their t-shirts to reveal adult human female t-shirts underneath. And refuse to race against a male competitor. This is the only way I can see we are going to get any progress is by women athletes standing up and refusing to race.
