Opinions on todays transgender players?

To add confusion to your attempt to make this into a one fits all discussion, what would you do with people like Caster Semenya of South Africa?
 
“I asked if men would do this with 5-10 million per year on the line. You don't think a few would do something like that for that type of money?”




"We told her that she was a girl and that god didn't make mistakes."



“Play the hand God dealt you. IMHO”

"Publications have paraded Semenya around as if she were a freak, speculating on what she is rather than what she does. The talented athlete has been subjected to invasive questioning and unwanted media attention because her femininity and womanhood doesn't look how we would like it to. She has been catapulted into a misogynistic witch hunt that proves that, regardless of what a woman achieves, she will always be questioned or undermined. While the media slate, Semenya has remained silent, presumably distressed and sick of the slander."

It was initially how she looks but soon became about the fact that her testosterone level is 3 times that of an average female which is a legitimate concern since some groups have suggested that gender be based on a sliding scale as oppose to female or male.

And she has spoken about the subject during the Rio Olympics NBC? did a great interview with her about her journey.
 
Oh look the people who are all over this board talking about "don't bash the kids" are on here liking off the collar comments about transgendered.
What a horrifying post and people who like it are equally as horrifying.

Again you managed to miss the point

You are missing the point. Athletes have been cheating for decades. A non surgical way to make them millions(won't happen because women's soccer won't ever see the type of money we are talking about) would be considered by some. Naive to think differently.

Name one man who has transitioned just for the financial benefit of being a woman

Even now a man who is not good enough to play a professional sport in a men's league could transition and be good enough to play in a women's league. There's not much money it in but more than a low wage job doing something he doesn't like. So how come we are not already witnessing this phenomenon?

$40,000 compared to $5,000,000 is why we wouldn't see this happen. I'd guess there would be some backlash if this were to occur.

If any of my posts came across as bashing I apologize. I have compassion for anyone that has to go through with these difficult discussions and choices.
