for today's geometry word. nothing more to say on this, is there?
regarding yesterday's comment on the boxing issue in the Olympics, i've read quite a lot of articles regarding the Algerian boxer and she is indeed a female. my issue was actually on transwomen competing in women's sports. i have nothing against transpersons. coming from a 'tribe' of lesbians and gays, i do have understand their predicament. what i'm against is the permission of so-called authorities that then create an unfair advantage against women athletes. but that is just my personal opinion.
i am reminded of a very distant relative back in the old country whom i had seen quite a few times when i was still a little girl. a lot of us children thought that she was a man dressing as a woman. she tried desperately to make herself appear more feminine, it didn't help that she was unusually tall and big that gave the impression that she was a man. she eventually got married to a man and we were quite surprised when she got pregnant.
the boxing incident also came to mind a very good sprinter from the old country, ms. mona sulayman. she was beating the competition and in her supposed to be last competition, she withdrew because she refused to undergo a gender test. it was a big deal at the time, i think in the late 50s or early 60s.
I got confused reading the different articles about the women's boxing so I decided to watch more competitions and leave the controversies to other people.
Totally agree. Male and female bodies have differing kinds of strength and I don't believe in mixing them in sport - always gives an unfair advantage. Though the case in question, she is female. Not sure why she failed a gender test last year?
This looks very industrious and mathematical!
The case of the Algerian boxer is very interesting.She is a 100% biological woman (since birth) with all female anatomy. It was only during drug testing they worked out she has higher (naturally) levels of testosterone. And then discovered she has a Y chromosome. Millions of women do and never know.
She has a biological advantage because she has higher levels of testosterone... but is a woman.
Do we need to start looking at Michael Phelps who has 150% lung capacity to the average athlete and more so, a condition where his body doesn't produce lactic acid. So he will never get soreness or stiffness during training or competing. This gives him a phenomenal biological advantage over his competitors... but that's sport.
I feel there will eventually be a solution to the competition issues we are currently facing but not in the near future
