Mianne Bagger brushed off concerns she was going to be labeled a ‘hypocrite’
Mianne Bagger, a transgender female golfer from Denmark who made history when she competed in the Women’s Australian Open in 2004, disagreed with the notion trans women should be allowed to compete against biological women.
Bagger, 55, started hormone replacement therapy in 1992 and had sex reassignment surgery in 1995. She began to compete against amateur golfers in the late 1990s and won the 1999 South Australian State Amateur tournament.
She expressed her support for an Australian lawmaker’s bill that would prohibit trans women to be included in female sports. The bill would have excluded Bagger from playing female sports as a trans woman, according to News.com.au.
“These days, [the dynamic] has crept into what’s called self ID or self identification: male-bodied people presenting as women, who live as women, with varying degrees of medical intervention and in some degrees, no medical intervention, which is just — it’s crossed the line, in my view, it really has … It’s a slap in the face to women,” Bagger said when asked why she supported the bill.
She told the news outlet it was important to note “the difference between general society and sport, particularly really high-level sport.”

The real solution is that these people need to be in the psych ward.
Sex changes need to be OUTLAWED in America !!! SOLVED
If separate professional teams or leagues comprised solely of transgendered people are created, what numbers will watch the games? Enough to draw big sponsors and make $$? Enough for sponsors to put their products and reputations on the line for endorsements?* Enough to get public support for the building of a stadium? Enough to sell tickets and fill said stadium?
The short answer: nope.
There’s not the interest or money to make over every pro sport to accommodate the wishes of the fringe.
