I don't know what to say about this.  The article tackles the unlikely subject of transsexuality in sport.  The comments are among the maddest things I've ever read.  Hilarious but tragic, too.  Anyway, worth a look.

Perhaps a little harsh there ER?

It's an item that has reared its head again just this year, and I have little doubt will impact, albeit in a small way, on our favorite sport one day. Setting aside my own personal views on the subject, the authorities that are, have accepted this and in the world of sport, the last bastion of gender discrimination, inroads are being made all the time.

Point taken, but I assume like you that you find this all a bit distasteful.

Personally, very much so. Nature is nature in my opinion, but then again, individual opinions don't matter much in the big picture, so it's something we just have to get used to, I guess - unfortunately.
