Not fair. USGA is wrong on that issue. TG people should play in their own category, or with their birth sex group. What a joke, and how rotten that is to the other competitors who don't have that advantage and are playing by the rules.

I'll call her "Maam" and respect her rights to be treated as a woman except NOT when it's unfair to others, like here with sports.

I disagree with this too. Women have just as much ability to learn the skill, but the raw strength and athleticism isnt the same. When equal skill sets are squared off the x-factor will be raw athletic ability. Definetely not fair.

i have a hard time accepting this. men and women are built differently. even though science says technically "she" is female now, i think she has an advantage over the real females... not fair.

I have mixed feelings on this, with the hormonal treatments and weight loss she is definitely not a S.W.A.T. cop anymore but she's obvious not all woman. I don't fault her she did play within the USGA guidelines, if they are unhappy with the outcome or deem it to be unfair then they should change it but I don't see them doing so without a swift lawsuit against them. It should probably be noted she did loose last year to another (real) woman.

there should be no confusion that this is a woman. if it cries when it loses, its a woman.

"As a sensitive women, Lawless knows what it's like to lose. After falling 1 yard short in the 2007 semifinals and being eliminated, she had cried.

Cried herself a river, just like the girl she always wanted to be."

"She" can be proud of that long drive trophy. Looks like the LDA might have some tough times staying open in the future. I'm sure sponsors are beating down the door right now.

i suggest this sex change procedure to the guys here who have weight issues due to their significant effect on health. this person went from a bulky 245 to a svelte 175 pounds. just a suggestion of last resort if all others have failed.

"In 2005, the USGA approved transgender involvement in competition, so I don't see how we can dispute this . "

I had no idea the people at USGA could be such a bunch of bozos, or rather cowards in the face of political correctness. Major loss of respect from the likes of me. Do those maroons know what a chromosome is? Too much time playing golf, too little Biology in HS I guess.

If transgenders want to compete, then USGA should give them their own league - exclusively for transgenders. Of course our famed organization hasn't got the guts to do this, so they make idiots of themselves.

How unfair to women who wish to compete in the event. Of course those geniuses at USGA hadn't thought of that ......

I think the LPGA demands "female at birth" (for now) - so thank goodness for that.

on what tour does a hermaphrodite play?

Pope Benedict XVI has sided with Sean "The Beast" Fister, "mankind needed to be saved from a destructive blurring of gender." The Pope also equated that saving humanity from homosexual or transsexual behaviour was as important as protecting the environment.

That's a weird story and the comments made me laugh... But do you think he/she/Pat could help in a 4-person scramble? Hitting from the "ladies" tees would be a big advantage...

That's not the right solution. (True) ladies should be able to compete in their own division. Mens' division should be 'open' (ladies/tg could compete there if they wanted). You could have another division called "open/others" which would be open to everyone *except* a (true) man. That last category doesn't need to be televised, just like the dinky oscars they give out.
