2. If everyone can just keep

their calm and not get all messed up over this it will work itself out. I am happy for her. I can understand how this affects women's sports but it can and will be worked out if we can all just remember, everyone deserves to do what they love and want and everyone should have the chance to be excellent. I am sure she is aware of the advantage she has. I just hope and hope and hope people will learn to adjust and not react like everything is a huge affront when something changes.

3. Ask the women swimmers who have to compete against her

to have that level of patience. Their swimming careers are destroyed. They can’t win if she is competing. That is a fact.

5. If she is aware of the advantage she has

she must look upon these victories as rather hollow. It reminds of the Seinfeld episode where Kramer 'excelled' in a kids' karate class.

6. This sure looks like the result of an unfair advantage.

I'm against transgender discrimination, but I think ignoring the possible athletic advantages of male genetics and development prior to reassignment hurts the entire transgender community. Hatemonger DeSantis is all over this story.
