    • My guess is they are not correcting a current problem. Rather they are attempting to address a tough situation that could become a huge problem in the future. They are trying to be proactive rather than reactive. As to offending or not offending people @ChetlovesMer, I believe Michael Whan said they tried to draw the line where someone gained a competitive advantage. It was felt that people who had gone through male puberty had a physical advantage vs. those who had not (all other things being equal).The decision was driven by a desire to create as level a playing field as much as possible. There was no mention of choosing the least offensive process. I have not really given all this a great deal of thought. On the surface, the policy seems to be a reasonable attempt to create some certainty in a very fluid situation. I am sure the courts will have an opportunity to review this policy. This not going to be the last word on this issue. And my opinion is just that, one person’s opinion.
    • Strangely enough, she played at my club as a teenage boy, and was a very good player.  Always seemed a bit of a "tortured soul", and I don't think transitioned until well after leaving here, much too late in life to fit within the new LPGA policy.  I think too many people thing trans folks have made the changes simply to compete in a less competitive setting.  This is a momentous change in someone's life, never taken lightly. 
    • I have off the grid for a couple months, so excuse my ignorance. Was Hailey Davidson dominating the LPGA tournament circuit? Has trans women been filling up the leaderboard every sunday? If not they are trying to solve a problem that does not currently exist. "First they came for the Communists. And I did not speak out. Because I was not a Communist........"
    • I'm not sure how that could have been avoided.  To me eye, it looks like they did everything they could to avoid offending. I really don't know what else they could have done. 
    • Oh, Hailey Davidson and others are offended.
