    No brainer. Anybody who supports their inclusion in womens sports is blinded by their wokery. Squeezing transexuals into elite womens sport is a right kick in the fannies to the women. How it is even debatable is beyond me.

    The LGBT+ people make themselves look delusional and idiotic by the claims they make about this.

    It's like those people who excuse everything by saying 'it's for charity' ...

    ... sod off, you just fancied biking across Vietnam or doing a parachute jump.

    There are loads of sports transgender people can get involved with where they don't benefit from a huge physical advantage.

    Do them ffs.

    But I would like to think that the majority of trans women agree with the fact that they shouldnt be competing in womens elite sport. I'd even like to think that the majority of trans women who like competing in sport would also agree. It just seems that, yet again, the minority seem to shout the loudest. Even some of them must be wondering how the debate got this far? A transwoman standing top at a podium must feel some sort of shame rather than triumph. If I was in 'her' size 11's I certainly would.

    I’ve mentioned on this thread before that Miss Yellowbelly is a 17 yr old competitive swimmer and as woke as they come… she’s really upbeat about this decision - means she can compete “properly”.
    The simple truth is that 17 yr old boys swim faster than 17 yr old girls…
    Being fair to the majority is, in my view, more important than being fair to a small minority. I’m all for inclusion but not at the expense of excluding people…

    As I mentioned earlier there are endless sports where strength etc, don't need to play a part. No one needs to swim, they may like to swim but it doesn't have to be competitive. When I was constantly in the gym I used to compete against myself ... faster, heavier, bigger.

    Demanding the right to compete against naturally born females may eventually work, and get through the courts, but it's pointless. It doesn't add to the sport, it diminishes it. It's no different to a barely disabled runner, winning court battles, and trouncing every disabled athlete.

    Seriously, life's too short.

    I’m going to back some of the charity stuff here. My wife is running the great north run for charity. Not because she wants to. She hates the thought of that distance. She likes running 5km with me and an occasional 10km race. I love running. She doesn’t. So her “it’s for charity” is not a reason to do it. It just is to help a charity which helped her mother through cancer

    I'm not talking about everyone mate, I do things for charity myself.

    It's people, and I've known a few, who want to do a bungee jump for example.

    They get a sponsor form, set it up and take the praise.

    It's a win win situation but a bit fake imo.

    This summer I'm going on a sponsored holiday to Ibiza where I plan on having a sponsored no holds barred drinking binge with my sponsored mates where I plan to have sponsored dances in nightclubs where I plan to have sponsored sex and once getting home plan to have a sponsored walk to the GUM clinic and have a nurse to shove a sponsored cotton bud (without the cotton) up more sponsored bell end.
