One of those to wade into the row was bronze medalist Wagner, who called her third place finish an “unfair” result.

“I was the 3rd place rider. It’s definitely NOT fair,” Wagner wrote in response to a controversial tweet by commentator Katie Hopkins, who also spoke against the transgender athlete’s participation in female events.

I repeat. Women’s.

Some internet users suggested creating a separate category for transgender athletes instead of allowing them to compete against women.

Why don’t they just create a race for transgender people?  That is physiologically unfair.

How is that an incredible accomplishment?  It is a man competing in a women’s event.  Regardless of what you feel it doesn’t change science.  Unfair advantage and should not be allowed.  You want equality???? Start a transgender league.

 Men who identify as transgender do not belong in women's sports. It's cheating.

I don't care who you are. Rich or poor. Tea party Republican or Liberal Socialist. You benefit from at least one or more of these 75 American Government-Run, Taxpayer funded Socialist programs, agencies, and laws. My overall argument is not for a completely socialist nation. This would not work. A completely capitalist nation would not work either. I'm just simply saying that I, as a Democrat , feel that the two can co-exist. I know this because they always have. Socialism and capitalism have always co-existed in America. I also believe in freedom. I believe options are a form of freedom. Right now in the United States of America, I can send mail through the public postal service or I can choose a private option like FedEx. I can send my kids to public school or private school. As liberals, we don't want a government takeover, we want options. We think we should have the freedom to be able to choose to have government health care if we don't like our pri...
