    ^I've often wondered the same thing. In Winnipeg, there were two female twins who wanted to play on the men's high school hockey team (they were pretty good), but because their school already had a female hockey team, they weren't permitted. So they filed a lawsuit with the Human Rights Commision, and eventually won the right to play as well as $5000 each for emotional damages. In the process though, they were portrayed to the whole city through the media as whiny bitches and everyone hated them. It was all good though, because in the end, they ended up getting cut anyways.

    I find that annoying too. IMO, girls are basically admitting that males are better at sports than them when they try to do that. Kind of counterproductive to the whole equality thing.

    LOL men are better than women at every sport. If you look at every sport, a man holds the record in every category and on average men perform better than women in sport/athletical events.

    There is a significant difference between the female and male body anyway, so you can't even really compare. Also, women's handball is actually better then the men's IMO.

    Anyway, enough talk about whether this is a girl, a boy, a goy, a birl, or a hermaphrodite. Let it be what it wants and stand down. Bah!
