The problem here is that certain people and companies are glorifying this mental illness in the guise of bravery and heroism. These people are not heroes, they're examples of a progressive paradigm to make money.. 

They're trying to create a niche market where there shouldn't be one.

100% true that progressive media glorifies "coming out" as transgender and 100% true that transgenderism is a mental disorder or illness.  How we as society treat or ignore that disorder is up for discussion but it's definitely a mental disorder.

But this boxer doesn't have a mental disorder.  She has an endocrine disorder.  And I don't think anyone on the left was trying to score points on her story.  I think only people on the right were, in this case.

Ok let me get this straight. There are people born with male chromosomes. They may or may not have male/female parts. Their testosterone is higher giving them more strength than a female without male chromosomes because of this. Then there are people born male but have decided to identify as a female, also with higher testosterone.  In both senerios when these people compete against males with like levels of testosterone they can't win. However, when they compete against women whose testosterone is much lower they can win.  In the past these people have been given the opportunity to FAIRLY compete IF they took medication to lower their testosterone to the level of females? These boxers have not done that. You guys know the people born as women are banned from raising their testosterone to these levels?

PS. I fail to see the difference between these guys and the East German doping females.
