What if you lived in Australia?

I can remember a long time before that. Do you know these two?



Tamara and Irina Press. They broke a gazillion records and won a ton of Olympic titles. No one could beat them. But after a time, people started to suspect that the "Press sisters" were in fact the "Press brothers". However, gender-testing was not required at the time. At any rate, they were withdrawn from competitions, and so far as I know, no one ever found out what gender they really were, and their medals and records are still recognized today

There was some speculation they were "intra-sex", which I think means "half-man / half woman" but no one ever proved it in their case

I've never heard of Hannah Mouncey. Meanwhile elsewhere in Australia:

We have our own equivalent in NZ-'Laurel' Hubbard...who decided at the age 30+....having been a second rate male weightlifter....it stood a better chance in the womens section...where having a fully formed mature male physique and musculature -proceeded to walk over the genuine female competitors.

Perfectly normal, ...level playing field...nothing to see here....move along..

Something else to look ̶b̶a̶c̶k̶ forward to, then. Who let you out of the rhino enclosure?

No, not vocal fry. ... unless? tm takes up field athletics events. Discus.

Kevin here. You know how many people when they visit someplace they say "It's a great place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live here", well I would want to live in Australia but only during the hot time of the year between December and April. I could leave the nasty cold, snowy Chicago and go to an inexpensive place that has what is called an "extended stay" hotel. While Chicagoans are freezing their asses off I will be basking in the hot as blazes days in "aussieland" Hoooooooray!!:thumbs up:

Have you ever considered to spend your last years... in Australia?

Kevin here. You already live in Australia. Your economy depends a lot on tourism, and you have a lot of experts who have emigrated such as miners and industrialists and wine growers. Without these people your economy would collapse. What Australia could do is put a cap on the number of children people have, because your population is skyrocketing. It could double by the year 2060!
