And just what sport would require such costume dimorphism? ‘Beach’ volleyball seems to be on the cutting edge of ‘tits ‘n’ ass.’ Does any other sport do this?
A case could be made that gymnastics might require costume dimorphism. The men’s skills and women’s skills are significantly different, the judging standards are different, and athletes exhibit some of the strongest developmental dimorphism of any sport. But the German women’s team is showing that the current level of costume dimorphism is in fact unnecessary.
Another sport that very conspicuously does this is figure skating. The men wear trousers and long-sleeved shirts, the women wear…you know what they wear.
Claims made that the sport requires the skimpy costumes seem to be a bit…fallacious…given not just the male clothes (which there is no reason could not be used for females as well), but also given the fact that I have seen enough volleyball (not beach volleyball, though, I admit) to know that you can play quite easily in shorts and shirts. The women playing college volleyball do not wear bikinis.
Pink has offered to pay the fines levied on the Norwegian women’s team for not wearing bikinis. She said that the IOC should be fined for sexism.
I saw that somewhere today. Without actually knowing who Pink is.
So what will transwomen wear? I suspect not skimpy bikinis.
iknklast — oh now that would be something to see!
I suspect yes, skimpy bikinis will be very popular among a certain set.
Wow, that looks even more ridiculous when you see them side by side like that…

P!nk is an entertainer, feminist, SJW, mother, and all-around good person. Some of her music is quite good, too.
Norway and Germany are among those pushing back on this nonsense.
