Revoke bruce jenner's Olympic medals
 

hmmmm
https://www.change.org/p/internation...olympic-medals

A petition posted to change.org is asking the International Olympic Committee to take back the gold medal Caitlyn Jenner won in the decathlon at the 1976 Montreal Olympic Games.

"We congratulate Ms. Jenner on these new developments and wish her the best," the petition states. "However, this creates somewhat of a problem as Ms. Jenner (as talented as she is) claims that she has always believed herself to be truly female, and therefore, was in violation of committee rules regarding women competing in men's sports and vice versa."

The IOC has long struggled with how to differentiate men and women, based off the assumption that the two genders should not compete against one another in contests of athletic ability. For years, all female Olympians were subjected to the humiliating process of mandatory gender verification. That practice was stopped en masse in the 1990s, though the IOC still retains the right to seek gender verification for specific athletes.

I suggested that yesterday in another thread.

So, let me understand this... some people are starting a petition to strip an athlete of his medals who competed as a male -- while being a male; while having male physical attributes and characteristics -- some 30+ years ago.

And their argument? It's not fair that a future female destroyed all other male athletes of the time and set a world record?

Does this not negate any argument, therefore, that females can not compete with males -- a rule so staunchly defended by the IOC?

Such nonsense. Apparently, some folks have way too much time on their hands.

yes:2 cents::2 cents::2 cents: almost 5k

If he had transitioned and proclaimed himself a woman 30 years ago then tried to compete as a woman I could see having a problem with it, but this is just a bunch of idiots who fear something they don't understand trying to get attention for themselves.

you cant tell me Jenner isnt an attention whore though, if this wasnt the case he would go off quietly and have whatever procedure he needs to make himself "feel normal" done. he wants the spotlight. Furthermore I dont see myself being the only annoyed with him being coveted a hero. Give me a break...

agreed but he won those medals fair and square. the petition is moronic.

Actually he is on the record as saying that he knew he was a girl and considered himself one since the age of 10 on.

He was therefore, in his mind he was the female he is today and a young woman at the time. Hence, he lied about competing as a male. Ergo, strip the metals just as if, for example it was later determined that he used performance enhancing drugs.

If he expects to be regarded as a female NOW then he should OWN it.

You can put lipstick and a dress on a pig and call it a girl but we all know it's still a pig.

I fail to see why you can not comprehend this position frankly.

I fail to see how you missed the point. Forget my own opinion that the entire petition is a petty and ridiculous exercise by drama queens needing some attention.

The point I was making was that the IOC will never strip him of medals because it would nullify their argument that men and women cannot fairly compete together. They'd be effectively admitting that, not only can a woman compete against men, they can whip their asses and set world records in the process. This would also mean they'd need to rewrite the record books regarding that world record. It is my opinion, and my point, that there's no chance the IOC will do that. If they do, I'll be very surprised.

I think it would be next to impossible for him to do this. I don't doubt that he is milking this for some attention, but he is a famous guy who was one considered an Olympic hero and is now part of the biggest reality show in the world. At some point the tabloids would have found him and went public with what he has done. He might as well own it and control the story.

Sorry dude but you are grasping for straws. Even if he considered himself a woman when he was in the Olympics he was physically a man. Since he was physically a man when he competed there was nothing shady going on with his winning the medals.

You and others just seem hell bent on punishing him for trying to find happiness.

Fixed it.

No surprises when it comes to who the idiots are that would support a petition like this.

I've got a better idea. If any of the aforementioned idiots ever decide to offer any sort of value to society, then said idiots' efforts should be immediately annulled. Reason being, the idiots were participating in an activity reserved for normal society, although they knew that they were simply a drain on society since an early age.

Well, I guess we will just have to agree to disagree and leave it at that.

I think we can all agree that you are an idiot; it's a start.

Tell me this. What good would stripping him of his medals do? How will society as a whole be better if we suddenly decide Bruce Jenner should no longer have a medal he won 30 years ago?

Petty, vindictive, ignorance at it's finest.

The # of names on such a petition serves only one purpose, that being to show the world just how many small-minded tools walk among us. IOC will never take back the medals. If your hope is that they will, better brace yourself for disappointment.

I will not argue that point. :thumbsup

+1 :thumbsup

He sure didn't throw the javelin like a girl.

Don't be silly. What Bruce Jenner "believed" in the 1970s had nothing to do with reality - he was in fact a man.

Don't be silly. What Bruce Jenner "believes" in 2015 has nothing to do with reality - he is in fact a man in a wig and a dress.

He still has that pesky cock and balls and even after those are chopped off he will always have XY chromosomes and not XX and not a fucking thing will change that. :1orglaugh

I will be the first to admit that I rarely agree with you, but I think you nailed it. Hell, that should be the litmus test for any legit expectations of gender change.

Even if Jenner was taking female hormones (he wasn't) when he was an Olympic athlete, it would not give him any athletic advantage pver the other males athletes in track & field events. So what's the point of trying to strip his medals? He did not cheat any of the other athletes out of any medal.

:1orglaugh:thumbsup

There is no point except, Jennifer Bradford Fort Worth, TX
There should be the ability to counter such idiotic change campaigns on change.org.

Last year, over 1,500 people were murdered merely for being trans. That is more than 4 people killed every day because someone else was offended by them. That alone is enough reason for anyone to be public about their transition. Awareness ultimately brings acceptance.

I know a few people previously ignorant and transphobic, who now look at it in a new and more positive light. Caitlyn Jenner is wholly responsible for that change.

It is natural that someone who already had the spotlight on them would want to bring awareness. Caitlyn Jenner is no different than Laverne Cox, but I've never heard similar comments made about her; they're both advocates due to already being well-known. Just because she's part of a celebrity family with a reality TV show, does not mean that Caitlyn's family does not sometimes deal with major and very real things. All families do. Some just happen to be on TV.

The sooner more people accept it, the sooner people like MiamiBoyz above will finally be able to admit their own feelings.

he always caught the balls

people have to be pretty godddamn stupid to have their minds changed about an issue simply because a celebrity did it. and as for 1500 people murdered for being 'trans'...i'm sure that majority is in third world shitholes. jenner isn't going to do much for people living outside of the televised world.

sounds about right..

So then you think if he had revealed it at the time, he wouldn't have smashed the women's competition too?

But then that wouldn't be fair would it? People just want to bitch and complain. Boo fucking hoo.

click the link at the bottom of the article! :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Can't believe people are actually spending time debating this as if it could actually happen.

It's just for entertainment really...not unlike discussing who will be the next president of the USA.

It doesn't matter one way or the other in the end. :1orglaugh


UPDATE: There are now over 10,000 signatures and growing.

Ya, I think the whole thing is dumb. The fact so many people actually care what jenner does is a huge red flag on the state of the american public's psyche. the government can fuck over the citizenry but forgawdsakes dont let an elderly gentleman chop off his junk and wear dresses. take his fucking medals away, that will show her!!:Oh crap

WOW that is so wrong on so many levels. Sad people really think this way.

I know right...just think about how heartbroken and confused Kim must be now...

So unsure what to do this upcoming father's day!

I feel for her as I am sure we all do!!

Stay strong Kim we are praying for you!! :thumbsup

Who cares if he wore silk panties under his Adidas track shorts.

He was a dude in the Olympics.

Let'em keep the medals. He earned them.

I agree with you 100%. He is in fact a man in a wig and a dress.

Doesn't change what he did in the 1970s.

They don't take away a medal from you because you like to wear a dress all of a sudden. Just like that Special Forces guy who now dresses like a woman - No matter what you say, he (she?) was in fact special forces and now that he / she wears a dress doesn't change that.

I don't understand it and with any luck, I never will.

Apparently this is the work of the infamous hacker known as 4chan

Of course they are his...I am just joking because if you watched that Kardasian show he's really quite the asshole it seems in "real life"!

They are his of course.

Actually... Very understandable...

Say a woman wants to play NFL football and she gets a pass on being drug tested for male hormones because of her gender reassignment surgery and ends up going from a 180lb women into a 320lb line backer. Years later will her team be stripped of their super bowl rings?

Speaking of Bruce - check out our brand new parody video -
Kaitlyn Gender - the not so true story- releasing Sept 10 and available for promotion only at Transdollars!

how about something a bit more interesting: name 'black lives matter' as a domestic terror organization' ?

Accept what? The fact that people group themselves into any possible retarded special interest. Constantly reminding others (who don't fucking care) that they are different but at the sane time pushing people to accept them as "regular"?

No one fucking cares anymore about your lame stats. "Struggles" or what you go through. Live your life and shut the hell up.

Only weak people expect everyone to accept them for every micro cosmic thing about themselves.

You're just attention whores and WANT the spotlight. Get over it.

Clickity in my signature for more info this would be some wicked video, releasing on 10th of September :thumbsup

There's a tranny that fights in mma tournaments. She is 5 and 1 so far. Some of her competitors have complained about how overpowering and strong she is. Sounds like the ufc would never let her compete though.

GFY must have been compromised as I clicked on a thread and seem to have landed in the comments section of TMZ.

why?? the kkk never made the list
