so another one in the saga of my failed ideas bin.

 

Transgender Olympics.

 

 

It's a good concept, in theory...but it would never get off the ground.

 

Nobody would take it seriously. Well, most people might not. It would be a fad and then soon die. But i wouldn't want to turn transsexuality into any more of a media circus than it already is (sad, but true, folks).

 

I thought about how being trans, i could never compete in the Olympic Games (even if i HAD talent like that anymore) and win anything. I would be stripped of any medals i had won, and unceremoniously at that. *sigh*

 

there should be an Olympic qualification for transmen and transwomen of each sport. since transmen are on T and that's a no-no...maybe they could go by dosage and how far into transition you are in order to come up with class division for each event. and transwomen the same. it's a neat-o idea...but i would never want to see the media shit-storm go all haywire like it does the second anybody who is noticeably outside of the gender binary attempts to make him/her self known to the outside world (i.e.- the pregnant man)...

 

 

and speaking of the pregnant man...that's an entirely different story. don't even get me started.

 

well, off to work! *groan*

How many people do you think you could recruit for the transgendered olympics? Hell I'd fake it just to be a part of it! Sounds like a good time to me!

Thinking about it more though, at first it seemed kind of funny... but I am surprised no one has thought of a similar thing before... I mean, that would be really difficult to be good at a sport while being transgendered...

I don't think it's a failed idea at all, in fact, I think you're onto something!

I was part of the committee that tried to get the Gay Olympics off the ground in the 80's

you can have Police Olympics..
Firefighters Olympics
Special Olympics and so on..
but no "Gay" olympics..
IOC stated CLEARLY that "the gay lifestyle" is not compatible with Olympic "traditions"
...yeah right

So we had to settle for the Gay Games--held in SF
