Thanks for the update.Anyway,do you remember the case of the South African hermaphrodite who participated in women sports?She ootrunned all the other competitors but apparently it was her high level of the male hormones that propelled her to victory. I am curious if those people could ever be selected to be in a psychology experiment: where would the equity be? Would you include Miss Vancouver in an all female gender experiment?Hermaphrodites could also pose dilemmas.It is my understanding that in England that hermaphrodites can be viewed as males whereas in Scotland they can be viewed as females. Send me something.

Vancouver You're way behind on this one Michael. She has been re-admitted to the contest (though the wording was a little ambiguous). In addition, dropping the pants (I'm not sure why you put it in scare quotes) wouldn't serve the judges very well because she had the physical changes made a few years ago. Mainly this was just another opportunity for Donald Trump to get his name in the news (he "owns" Miss Universe). Chris --- Christopher D.

Personally,I feel that the best test to ascertain this requirement is to ask all conestants to "drop the pants" and have the examined.
