"We have a legal situation in Europe and the U.K. that is different to America, so in a sense we had no option but to address the situation," said Andy Salmon, chief executive of the LGU. "In America, they reserve the right not to address it at the moment."

Hi stef,

It would be interesting to find out what that difference is.

As I understand it, the US position on all transgendered athletes is that women who were not born female can't compete, period. A lot of their prejudice is based on outdated research indicating that a post-op person undergoing HRT cannot develop female-pattern muscle mass, and would therefore be stronger/faster/et al, than their genetic female competitors.

Hi Stef,

That's a great link!

She's a superstar and totally a person who will set the mark!

First the Olympics and now this.

They are women, so I'm glad they are finally being treated like they are.
