Well, the landscape of Mens/Womens pro sports has a challenge, perhaps not totally new, but certainly will escalate in the future.

So much for fairness: Transgender woman golfer wins mini-tour event, aims for LPGA

Last week, Hailey Davidson, a transgender woman, won her first professional title in Florida, topping LPGA player Perrine Delacour for the win.

The same day, she was sent an email by the USGA saying she’s met the organization’s Gender Policy eligibility criteria and can now compete in its championships and she’s hoping to hear similar news from the LPGA via a reciprocity agreement, according to Golfweek.

In January, Ms. Davidson underwent gender reassignment surgery, and she’s been undergoing hormone treatments since 2015. Since transitioning, Ms. Davidson said she hits shorter and swings slower — yet she still was born a man, and obviously, has a physical advantage over biological women.

The science in these cases is clear. Biological men have more muscle mass, larger hearts and lungs, and therefore greater stamina than biological women. Their bones are bigger, and their testosterone helps promote muscle memory — that doesn’t go away even after hormone therapy. Therefore, transgender girls have a heightened ability to build strength even after they’ve transitioned.

sick, really sick

Wonder why feminists are so quiet on this issue?

When womens sports are taken over by transgenders perhaps they will wake up

Alternatively, golf's freak show.

Nothing new.

If they'd just get rid of mens' and womens' clubs entirely, I think it'd work out just fine. Make them all mixed. Heck you could even include a requirement that each team have at least one transgender of each gender in order to compete on the national level.

In other words, spread the transgenders out evenly to create a level playing field???? I don't think so.

The post is about professional golf. With a few exceptions, such as the Ryder Cup and Solheim Cup, professional golf is not a team sport. Try to keep up.

TOTV is no place for this

I don't support discrimination, insults, and threats of physical harm.

I also dislike simplistic solutions posed for complex situations.

Actually it is pretty simple

You're born male or female and that's the hand you are dealt. There shouldn't be any "do-overs"

And I'm sure most of us would discriminate against and insult Nazi war criminals, KKK leaders and ISIS terrorists. And it is even worse when the taxpayer foots the bill for gender reassignment surgery on inmates and military personal.

I don't either. I live with everyone. But discrimination in this case is required. Has to be.

But men competing in a physical sport against women is simply wrong.

Even if he is wearing a dress.

As far as threats of physical harm?

Do you think it is OK for a man to follow your little girl into the ladies room?

Very sad situation for young women who have spent their lives working to excel in their sport. So unfair to them.
