    Only for very regulated medical reasons like it already is. Natural fluctuations in testosterone and estrogen have existed for longer than the Olympics have and are there for literally everyone

    Have any been done to prove that you aren't a bloke? Or that your kids aren't all blokes or all my family? It's utterly stupid to say you are going to assume a woman is a man u til she can prove otherwise

    Because it's a stupid question

    A person was born a girl with female sex organs, she grew up as a little girl, a big girl and then a woman because she's a woman. The became a boxer and won some fights against other women but lost quite a few against other women too. She beat a russian women and a corrupt and discredited russian organisation declared that she was a man and therefore ineligible based on a test they claim they conducted but refuse to say what it was or what the results were although a spokesman is reported to have claimed she had xy chromosomes which are often incorrectly referred to as sex chromosomes but a second spokesman gave a different reason.

    Why the hell would we force a woman to undergo a test to prove she's a woman just because the bloody russians made a claim she wasn't to allow a russian athlete to progress in a competition?

    I really do think they should add drunk trampolining as a sport. It's the same as the current setup but you get a difficulty modifier like in diving, based on how many pints you neck before starting your routine.

    I love any sport especially when the athletes are top of their sport and these Olympics are superb. France can take a bow.

    No because they don't have the reproductive system of a female

    I think trampolining before your drunk is dangerous enough, performing twists and somersaults 10 m above tge trampoline!

    So xy chromosomes don't define your sex then as women with xy chromosomes CAN and DO give birth

    Thus the difficulty modifier.

    After 27 pints of strongbow you don't even need to do any flips to win

    But if you land a flip you are awarded a platinum medal which wins the olympics for your country.
