>>> "Sex verification in sports (also known as gender verification, or loosely as gender determination or a sex test) occurs because eligibility of athletes to compete is restricted whenever sporting events are limited to a single sex, which is generally the case, as well as when events are limited to mixed-sex teams of defined composition (e.g., most pairs events). Practice has varied tremendously over time, across borders and by competitive level. Issues have arisen multiple times in the Olympic games and other high-profile sporting competitions, for example allegations that certain male athletes attempted to compete as women or that certain female athletes had intersex conditions perceived to give unfair advantage. The topic of sex verification is related to the more recent question of how to treat transgender people in sports. Sex verification is not typically conducted on athletes competing in the male category.

The statement, "nice try",is completely meaningless. I'm not trying to do anything with you. If anything I'm playing to the people in the cheap seats. I participate here for my own amazement and amusement. Nothing more, nothing less.

Ha! You think you're special? What do you think we all do? My "nice
try" was meaningless to you because you can't see outside your little
box. It was referring to your attempt at changing the subject. You
would like to mix men who think they can become women, with people who
were BORN with medical conditions that make them different than the
majority of other people born of the same sex.

Now, you're just getting boring.
