For ANYONE to defend this is outrageous.
I have personally had some issues with MXSports in the past (Salem IL 2005), I hope this doesn't become another one....

Transgenders go through hormone therapy, but who is checking on the levels? How do you make sure a competing transgender doesn't lower their estrogen intake so that male hormones start to kick in and give them an advantage?
To the supporters of shim, save the whole sob story that was in the first thread about this whole ordeal. This is completely wrong and does show where our country is now heading.
A pig can never be a poodle, a chicken will never be a swan, and a man will never be a woman, no matter how hard the PC, bleeding hearts cry.
An act of solidarity by the girls would be fabulous. Don't even roll to the gate. Then let the announcer, powers that be, explain it to all of the fans.
That dude that thinks he's a chick now.........weather or not if you think it's right / wrong to race against 42 other riders that you know damn well you could work over in a wrestling match any day of the week.....and feel good about winning.......?
I'll just say it right now.........You're a bitch!
Sandbagging isn't even the word I would use to describe you........I think "cheater " would be the word I would use.
And FWIW.....I hope some of those " real " fast chicks kick your ass up and down the track. maybe you can go back to collecting barbie dolls or something?
Do what you want to your own body....I'm cool with that. Just don't compete in MY sport and ruin it for a bunch of others who play by the RULES!
For ANYONE to defend this is outrageous. "
Agreed 100%!
I do think that the field should have been kept at 42 riders and if the individual made it then they get a spot, if not then no dice.
this dude should race with the rest of the dudes...cause he IS a dude whether he believes it or not.
As I understand it, the AMA initially disqualified the rider in question, and replaced her with another rider. But after doing more research, it was discovered that they had erred from a legal standpoint. That's why you now have 43 finalists.
From Wikipedia...
"In the United States, classifying a person's sex as male or female is a power which is left to the jurisdiction of the states. As is the case throughout the world, the degree to which a given state recognizes a transsexual person as his or her desired sex varies and is dependent on factors such as the "steps" the person has taken in his or her transition, such as psychological therapy, hormone therapy, and sex reassignment surgery (SRS)."
From what I've been told, getting a new birth certificate in her state is not an easy or simple process, and that it'd satisfy even the most most strict interpretation of what what required for gender reassignment.
And one final note. Much has been made of muscle mass. As noted here (http://www.transgendercare.com/medical/resources/tmf_program/tmf_progra…), "A good deal of the size that is normally attributed to large or broad shoulders, arms and chest is actually contained in upper body muscle mass—not bones. Through the process of feminization much of the upper body bulk will disappear."
If we're going to have a discussion on this, let's at least make it a rational one.
Pit Row
"My son who is 10 had commented on how fast she was in the last moto on Saturday. He also saw her blu cru hat and said something about being on the blu cru together. She looked like she had been riding all her life. Threw the bike around over the jumps, was railing rutts, had good form. But she definitely looked different from the other young women on the track. We had just spent the whole week before at Freestone doing camp rev and racing the regional there. Spent a whole week with Kaitlyn Morrow, a girl who can ride with the best of them, and my son had even said she might be better than Kaitlyn. But she didn't look like Kaitlyn, she looked more like Ken Roczen and that is truth. That's how she was built and that's where the problem lies."
It's apparent that this person in question still has the muscle mass of a man, is a very capable B rider against guys, and wants to race against girls that could be just beginning high school. Justify the fairness in this?
I'd be very interested to hear the thoughts of the families of girls competing in that class.
That clearly seems worth it.
For those of you who can't figure it out, yes, that was sarcasm.
