Can a Transsexual compete in the Olympics?

[Rockheart]

Gender testing athletes has been done for years and is a controversial issue, as one would expect...and according to wikipedia (so it must be true, right?):

"Newer rules permit transsexual athletes to compete in the Olympics after having completed sex reassignment surgery, being legally recognized as a member of the sex they wish to compete as, and having undergone two years of hormonal therapy (unless they transitioned before puberty).^[8] These controversies continued with the 2008 Olympic games in Beijing"

Nice work,
Someone actually looked it up!
I didn't think that page would exist.

Now I will be watching for someone to compete as a man in one games,
then as a woman in the next.

I wonder how long it takes them to come up with these rules.
Picture a room full of Olympic people discussing this issue for days.

Since TS are so different the solution cannot be easy to determine.
The rules will never fit everyone.

I never said or implied that the use of then instead of than was a matter of spelling. It was however meant to point out that "than" is what you should have used. I felt this was a perfect opportunity to point this out as I have more often than not noticed "then" being used where the proper word was "than".

Also, the correct spelling is grammar.

Memories

Great video, it brought back memories of what we learned in elementary school so many years ago. I lived in Montreal during those years.

What about the "Clean and Jerk"

You should always clean after you jerk....it's just good etiquette!
