@kateweatherly: You response still seems to be about comparing your personal situation and results which should be irrelevant to the bigger point in question here. The fact that you were quick as a man but not quick enough to be up there with the top men cannot be a justification to race the woman when you chromosomes say your a man but you heart and chemically altered testosterone levels measure you closer to a woman. Shania Rawson's health at this event is also irrelevant to the point in question. If you take this to the full extent of what is possible, if hypothetically the top 10 men were to transition to woman do you sincerely believe there would be a future for genetic woman in this sport? or any other sports dominated by genetic males? Or would you think males at the top should not be allowed to transition if they felt it were right to do so?

@kateweatherly: you say "Rather than having a knee-jerk reaction lets look at the individual and make a judgment based on their results and biology" but with all due respect the issue being discussed is a lot bigger than you as an individual and your personal results. It is about the fairness and ethics of how to handle transgender participants in sports. If it were a judgement based on individual results, imagine if hypothetically Brook MacDonald or Keegan Wright were to transition to female. If their results were being measured against the other woman by your reasoning you would be against them competing as woman because they were considerably faster as men? Surely if you have the best interest of the sport at heart, advocating to have biological males compete as females can only diminish the future participation of woman in the sport? Maybe advocating for a transgender division would be more beneficial for the sport and for the transgender community as well?
