    Coming from a trans person I love the equality but sorry for us ladies, there is something unfair about being born male bodied when it comes to certain activities that require a bit of brute strength. Shot put, javelin and such for instance. There is a lot of parity but biological sex might be a bit unfair.

    I'm a realist here.

    I mean if the IOC says ok then that's good enough for me. Just saying though.
