I remember when Annika Sorenstam competed against the men in a couple of PGA tour events and was applauded for doing so. She was competing UP, and I say good for her. But if Rory McIlroy wanted to compete in an LPGA event that would be grossly unfair--even if he wore a skirt. That's exactly what these transgender athletes want to do, have an unfair advantage. Like the transgender swimmer who defeated the best of the women swimmers...what has he/she (?) really accomplished? He couldn't beat his male counterparts but he beat the female swimmers. So what?
