First of all, who has ever heard of a transgendered athlete in the first place? It's not like they are protesting by the hundreds to be in the Olympics.

Second of all, the Olympic committee DID investigate this....did anyone read the article? There is some scientific data that says transgendered (male to female) lose hormones and muscle mass as part of the transformation. So, they aren't just men dressing as women competing against women.

Do I think it's fair? I don't know. I would actually like to see transgendered people participating in lower-level sports first, to see if there is really a difference.
