Caitlyn Jenner, a possible candidate for governor of California, has recently said that she believes it is unfair for transgendered athletes to compete with females. Is this viewpoint based upon any credible scientific studies or is this another wedge issue being used to energize the campaigns of a politicians? After years of opposing Title IX, the Civil Rights law created to expand women’s sports, Republicans are now suddenly concerned about female athletes? I would like to see some objective proof before getting exercised about this subject. Do those transitioning from male to female really have an advantage over female athletes after hormone treatments and puberty blockers? They used to have hearings and do research before making laws. Now we make assumptions.

Plus I can see states using these laws to harass women who look more masculine. In fact, 2 female athletes were barred from Olympic competition for having too much naturally occurring testosterone.
