I guess I don't know the whole story.

Are you asking if we think she should be able to race in the men's class?

NEVERMIND. I had a revelation as I was typing this. Michelle is the individual that had a sex change right? (hence your s/he comment).

That is a tough one. I am a molecular biologist/ biochemist, so I tend to agree with the notion that your physical gender is dictated by your genes; however, your social gender is determined by whatever you choose to do with yourself. So the question is, are the classes based on physical or social gender?

I am inclined to think that the classes were based on physical gender. Based on teh assumption that testosterone will enhance your performance, and therefore individuals with less (Physical women) would not perform as well. If this is the case than I would say that she should compete in the men's class, and judging by her times in your link, she would not be competitive.

I am admittedly ignorant of the details of her transformation into a woman, or her genetic makeup, or of the history of her career in the racing scene. I do think it is a pretty interesting issue though.

I should check out that other forum to see what she had to say for herself.
