    She was born with a uterus. Does that help?

    All these people trying to ruin this woman's life, are they aware they can get her killed?

    It’s the correct terminology, but of all the adverbs to come up there …

    Not really. Sex / gender development sometimes isn't very clean or simple. You can be XX, but have genitals that look male. Or you can be XY and have female reproductive organs. If there was evidence that she is XY, saying "She has a uterus" isn't going to settle it for some people.

    There are no words to describe how much better women are at the gymnastics floor routine than men.

    I read they go off of passports where they look at assigned birth gender. Given she’s from a country where she isn’t allowed to transition, it seems as good a way to do it as any.

    And the IAB is not allowed to be affiliated with the IOC because the Olympics don’t trust them.

    This all reeks of something people with agendas took and ran with without any real information. The test is suspicious but the thing that kicked it off—the boxer who bowed out after taking a hard punch—seems like something that isn’t what people are making it out to be.

    That’s their problem, not hers.

    NBC currently airing a somewhat inevitable doc on Normandy with the last remaining vets. Called "In the Company of Heroes." I've been in an out a little but I'm sure it's worthwhile.

    I hope who ever did this does get fired. That’s a huge lawsuit waiting to happen plus it could get her killed.
