Interesting.

Transsexuals do they belong on the womens tour or mens tour ? In this case a man changes to a woman and wants to play on a womans tour ........ but surely he/she has an advantage over most of the female born competitors ?

I think an average man would for the most part dominate womens golf if allowed to compete. Much like a good college basketball player or track runner could dominate the fields of women.

Am I way off here ?

I don't feel that they should be allowed to compete with either gender since they aren't really either gender anymore .

A sexually mutilated man is not and never will be a woman anywhere but his own mind . The East Germans have already more than adequately demonstrated what will happen to women's athletics if altered men are allowed to compete within their ranks . I think it will be bad for sports in much the same way that the current rash of "enhancers" is , not sporting at all .

Trannies have always been sort of an enigma to me. You have to be very careful about the blather you hear from the "advocacy" groups about being a woman trapped in a man's body... blah blah blah.

What it actually is, is a form of Apotemnophilia - they VEHEMENTLY deny that, but the truth of matter is that it is true.

Trannies have been studied for decades to see what makes them tick, no conclusive evidence has ever pointed to any sort of "fact" that they're born that way.

Seeing as how it is a mental illness, I would have to make the logical conclusion that a tranny should not be allowed to compete outside of what the genetics say about their sex.

The day every cell in the body can have every X chromosome changed to a Y chromosome I may back down A LITTLE, but until such time special consideration cannot be given due to the fact that would then be condoning the actions, and even worse, it would be admitting that they're actually what they're not.

Give them their own damn tour...like they were a third sex.
Let's see who comes to watch them....or sponsor them.
Probably woudn't be much money in it for 'em.
Maybe then people would learn to accept what they are.

My Grandpa said it best Clint:

"If you're born with a unit you're a man , if you're born wanting one you'd better be a woman if you're gonna get near me . "
Frank "Shug" Haendiges

He said something similar to this when it was explained to him who Christine Jorgensen was . For those born after 1970 Christine Jorgensen was the first tranny to gain mainstream attention . Back then you had to go to somewhere like Denmark and spend a king's ransom to get "the change" , now you can fly to Thailand and have it done for under $10,000 like getting a boob job . [:'(] What a sick world we live in !

[Slamfire]

I'm gonna ignore 'em just like I'm ignorin' the hockey strike.

Hmmmm,

I could sit and home and admire myself ... then I could slap a sexual harassment suit on myself........... oh the possibilities...

Which Olympics was it that Chinese or Korean women or something showed up all beefed up on male hormones and were disqualified ? Maybe they were simply trying to find their sexuality ?

I think it's an easy question to answer. Why are genders separated in sports? The primary reason is that the male phisiology provides advantages over female (generally speaking.)

If a male to female transexual retains a significant portion of those phisiological advanteges, the that athlete should be banned from female sports.
