I don’t think it’s right to say she looks “better” as if she didn’t look good before — I think she looked great before! She looked strong and proud, and natural before. I think she looks beautiful either way. Her smile is confident, and she obviously is having fun in another role. But she doesn’t have to slather on makeup and wear jewelry for any person with a brain and a heart to see her beauty.

And hey, I don’t see why anyone has to compete only against their own sex anyway. If you’re good, you’re good. If you’re smart, you’re smart. And if you’re a fast human being, you’re a fast human being.

Larger muscle mass, three times the normal level of testosterone, larger lung capacity, no cramping, no monthly menses with all the mess, inconvenience that comes with it equal UNFAIR ADVANTAGE keeping against biologically “normal” females who don’t have those characteristics. Create another category called “Mixed” or “Intersex” for those who fall outside a binary gender classification of xx and xy chromosomes.

So she’s a hermaphrodite, so what? She looks good, plus it’s all natural, no steroids or anything, so I don’t see what the problem is. She wasn’t cheating, after all, it’s just the way she was born.

Anyone saying otherwise is simply prejudiced.
