Men Zoom Past Female Runner...
in World Athletics Championships Mixed Relay'
Over the weekend, history was made at the 2019 World Athletics Championships in Doha for its inclusion of the gender-mixed 4×400-meter relay. Nations pack their teams with two male and two female runners each. Nearly all participating nations ordered their runners male-female-female-male, strategically placing their two fastest runners to start and end the race. While Poland gained an advantage off the bat with their male runners, the last leg showcased a top-notch female athlete with a 30-meter lead competing against top-notch male athletes — and the difference was stark. The female runner was blown out by Michael Cherry, who represented the United States, in the last leg of the relay. All the other male runners, despite being disadvantaged by Swiety-Ersetic’s head start, also beat out the Polish runner. “It’s scientifically proven that males are built to be physically stronger than females. It’s unfair to put someone who is biologically a male, who has not undergone anything in terms of hormone therapy, against cis-gender girls,” said Athlete Selina Soule during a Fox News appearance last year. And with the Olympics approaching, women’s groups are calling foul on the prospect of female-identifying biological males being allowed to compete against females, |

{pointing up}
Why do the climate change folks demand that we accept science but reject the scientists who say there are only two genders? |

If you want to call it that. Take a little time and at least skim through that link if you haven't. It's something not often spoken about, and most people are not aware of it. Even some people who were born with ambiguous sexuality are not aware they were, because the common thing to do is for the parents to, after consultation with their doctor(s) have surgery performed to "normalize" the genitalia as much as possible shortly after birth and that child was often never told about it.
I was never aware this went on until I married an OB RN who had seen it a number of times and also a stepdaughter who is an OB RN discussed it with me. It's rare, but happens more than most people are aware of. The Wiki article even says there are no absolute numbers available. My wife says in her experience, it's about as common (or uncommon) as giving birth to triplets. But that's just one RN's experience. My point is, not 100% of all people are born either 100% male or female. There are other variations, both physically and genetically, both externally and internally. I would describe it as saying that 100% of people are born with five toes on each foot is not correct, either. I myself have seen people with six. |
