DiManno: Elite athletes are not created equal
Published On Thu Dec 09 2010

Born female does not mean born entitled, except perhaps to gentlemanly courtesies and it's bad manners to demand good manners.

And born female but transgendered to male isn't a license to cheat, under the rubric of civil liberties.

In the world of sports, this distinction matters. It's not about genital arrangement or re-arrangement. It's about muscle mass and skeletal structure. It's about DNA and testosterone. It's about intrinsic biology and the superior physical strength of men.
