Hubbard transitioned to female eight years ago at age 35. Before her transition, Hubbard competed in men's events, setting national records in junior competition, according to The Associated Press.

With all the talk of feminism, this generation is the most unfair to women. If I were a parent to a young girl, I would advise her to stay away from sports especially olympics because she wouldn't stand a chance. If a competitor male or female takes testosterone, HGH, steroids or other doping mechanisms, he would be barred from olympics. But somehow this is allowed since the trans will obviously have more teststerone. Its only because they dont want to be accused of transphobia, this unfair advantage is allowed.

You never know when suddenly one sport throws up a champion. Prime eg javelin. No one would have thought india would suddenly be a contender for javeline of all events in atheletics.. also deepa karmakar last time in gymnastics.. thats why said we need centres of excellence or what is called high performance academies for select sports which uk has

This is happen stance, India should invest in a discipline like bcci does in cricket only outcome is few medals once in several years but the investment and setup of domestic system should be similar to how bcci does setup for cricket in the country it needs that kind of sustained investment to get favourable outcome of gold medals.

women who were male at puberty would have larger heart denser bones and denser muscles, that is an advantage for them and a disadvantage for other women  competing, does it make them sure shot for a medal not sure. And if this woman does win a medal how fair would that be to other athletes is such a difficult question.

Sports is mostly cultural unless it is a regime like USSR or China. Now obviously it has become part of their culture.

 

Look at the badminton culture that has come up in AP/Telangana or wrestling akhadas in Punjab/Haryana belt that has produced world champions. 

BCCI needs continued focus on cricket instead of too many things. Sure they might have a fund or something to support other sports but that’s about it. Not their problem. In fact they need to ensure cricket doesn’t die like Hockey etc.

oh absolutely I always said India needs to focus like bcci that means Indian sport federation or what ever body should act like bcci with what ever funds they can secure and focus on few disciplines is to secure more funds basically.

Less than 10 nano something units of testosterone alright but who will account for bone and muscle density from puberty.

But its not a geneyic gift alone its a male vs female physiological difference at puberty that is the predicament.

Trust me no boy or girl who have functional parents want to change genders. its only on tv to promote the lgbt agenda. most of these cases are from dysfunctional families and the school system especially in blue states that push them subtly to go ahead and do this. Then there are odd cases like this in olympics also pushing the agenda. Even adults are being brainwashed by this programming. There are desis living in US/UK who watch CNN, BBC all the time and they are worried about Chennai being the first major city that will go under water and they cite global warming as the cause. I tell them to stop watching tv.

gender dysphoria is a medical condition, nothing to do with family. Iran has one of the highest number of trans operations per year, are they not conservative enough? Hijras in India existed since forever

See you are also someone who consumes mainstream news. There is no such thing as gender dysporia. Its a made up term by modern "scientists". You don't know how Hijras become hijras. Its a sad case and truly an evil thing that has been happening but its origins are in the middle east not India.
