Sex Change In Sports

A couple weeks ago I got in a debate on whether it would be okay if Caitlyn Jenner competed in golf tournaments as a female.  I do not think that she is planning on entering any golf tournaments but it poses the hypothetical question, should she be allowed to compete as a female?  Caster Semenya was a South African runner who won gold at the the 2009 World Championship for the Women's 800 meters.  Following her victory she was subject to gender tests that proved she was intersex, and that caused an uproar.  She was allowed to compete as a women despite these findings.  Her situation is obviously a lot different than Jenner's because she was born that way and is still classified female.  Jenner was a male athlete and considered one of the best athlete's on Earth after Bruce Jenner won the 1976 Olympic Gold medal for the decathalon.  If she were to be able to compete as a female athlete, than that would open the floodgates for people to just get a sex change for sports reasons.  Not sure how many athletes would do that, but if you allow Caitlyn Jenner to compete as a female than I think they would have a hard time not allowing an athlete in the prime of their career from having a sex change and competing in the opposite gender's sports.  All in all it is just a hypothetical question, but definitely one that is more complicated and the implications going forward may impact other areas besides sports.
