Yes lots of tall women and short men.  Generally men are bigger.  No, I have no discomfort at all with trans people.  I have a choice of "he" or "she".  Jillian is a human being and prefers "she".  Jillian will never be a woman but will be a transgendered woman.  I respect that choice and therefore use the pronoun "she".  We are talking about an athletic competition here, not a luncheon and shopping, and IMO men - including transgendered to women -  should not be competing with women. I will never be a zebra even if I paint stripes on myself and run with the herd.
