China To Prevent Hot Tranny Messes From Competing
Chinese officials have announced that they will be performing Gender Verification tests on female athletes suspected of not being women. The tests are designed to prove that the suspected Olympians are actually women and not men in disguise. A combination of genetic and various physical tests will be required of these competitors to validate their vagina... basically.
I just don't know what to say about this. It simply reeks of sexism and trans-phobia, and I'm sorry to bear the bad news to China, but it's just about the most backward thing I've heard in quite some time. The person merely needs to be suspected of not being a biological female before being put up to this witch hunt trial. That suspicion doesn't really need a basis, just a feeling... maybe some of her parts are shaped "oddly," or she presents more traditionally masculine features. And for that, she must be subjected to this humiliating show of "prove your not a tranny?!"
What's more is that one only case of gender-bending has EVER been proven in the history of the Olympics, and that was not done by any form of faux-test. The Olympian came out as a man years after the event and confessed to being forced to pull the charade by his government's regime. So if only ONE person has ever been able to pull off some gender heist, what's the fear? Several women have been disqualified or penalized for false positives, but none have been found to be faking it, so what is the need for this?
China is proving, once again, that they simply aren't in line with the rest of the advanced economies of the world. Instead, they are showing their fear of all things outside their borders. If we are so afraid of transgendered people that we have to test every female athlete, there are some serious issues that need to be dealt with! And why aren't the men being tested? Oh, that's right, because men are superior, so there's no way a female could pass as a male, right China? Ridiculous...

Good to know these sort of tests aren't going on over in Robonia.
Yeah, China should really watch Mulan. Maybe something like that could, you know, actually happen. Even become part of their history or something.
