    • It's not so much the time that is an issue it is this notion that sex is 'assigned'.  What, is the Dr. going to say, "well your baby has a penis, but I am going to assign his sex as female."?  The pollution of the language is a big factor in how this stuff is sold.  The baby's sex is observed not assigned.  And in most cases it is observed on an ultrasound long before birth.  But neither of these inconvenient facts fit the narrative.  
    • Oh, sometimes I'm not too brite. 😜
    • The Beres drivers are even more expensive. My understanding is they sell the loin's share of these into Japan. The clubs perform well but the bigger component is that they are also something of a status symbol.  The ironic part is how poorly the Beres Drivers and the like hold their value. You can pick up fairly recent models on the secondary market for under 200 bucks. Which must be heartbreaking for somebody who spent more than $5K on it when it was new.  BTW - I love the banana duct taped to wall art piece story. I give all the props in the world to the person who came up with the idea. 
    • So you can't be proactive, you can only be reactive? If the USGA had been more proactive, others would point out, we wouldn't be seeing a rollback. I don't see that as the main reason for the change. I think that, as Matt said earlier, women who were once young men (beyond puberty) do have a competitive advantage. Nobody has an issue with a 25-year-old not being allowed to compete in a junior event. Or a mine field. 😉
    • I totally agree with you. I'm not sure if I've lost the forest in all the trees. I was trying to commend the way this was handled. I agree with the decision. I agree that people born male have an advantage. Having typed that, I think when trying to create a rule set on this type of thing it's a major mind-field. It needed to be addressed one way or another. It will need to be addressed by all women's sports at some time in the future.  No matter how it's addressed there will be people who will be offended. I think they handled it the best way they could.
