Re: gender at Olympics and the faux outrage.

Decathlon gold medal winner Bruce Jenner no longer exists, according to Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caitlyn_Jenner?wprov=sfla1

How does she fit into this discussion? Especially as a diehard "conservative".

1. Why would her opinion matter here? nt

2. I'm not sure what you mean? His Olympic history will never go away.

I cannot understand his politics but I admire the dedication that it takes to compete at that level - it is a reminder of what is possible when we push ourselves to be our best.

3. While she is a woman today, wikipedia clearly states she

Competed in the olympics as a man in mens events. Thats just a matter of record.

Its nothing to erase.

And what does it have to do with anything today?

The current boxing controversy does not not involve transgender athletes. It involves a natural woman being attacked for something false.

4. If Caitlin was still Bruce, he'd probably be there as a commentator.

It struck me while watching the Norwegian athlete take the Gold in the Decathlon today that Jenner made a career of his Gold medal. But now Bruce Jenner becomes Caitlyn when searching.

The wasted time arguing about sexual identity is a bit frustrating. So many accomplishments are overshadowed by the hate generated by fundamentalists of every religion. I wish it could be cast aside.
