IOC to allow M-to-F transsexuals to compete as women

Article here. Excerpt:

'There’s great news for adventurous male Olympic hopefuls: if they declare themselves women and reduce their testosterone below 10 nmol/L for at least 12 months prior to competition, they can compete against ladies.

There’s even better news for these men; according to transgender guidelinesapproved by the International Olympic Committee, genitalia does not serve as a prerequisite. The guidelines state: “To require surgical anatomical changes as a pre-condition to participation is not necessary to preserve fair competition and may be inconsistent with developing legislation and notions of human rights.”'

We are what our DNA says we are. Our DNA and RNA control how every cell in our body is built. Males and females are different, particularly in muscular and skeletal formation. A male athlete will have an advantage over a female athlete.

I am very disappointed to see this!
