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.

Get to the point, how much do you bloody want,
 
I'm all for supporting the transgender community and their rights to compete.

It's the combat sports that I worry about. There's women having their faces punched in and getting beat up quite badly from women who have transitioned from being male. I hope it isn't going to take for somebody to get seriously hurt, or worse, until the governing bodies step in and review it.

I don't see why we can't have an extra category for sports, now. Male, Women, Trans.
Maybe if Mike Tyson
Re gendered
Then they would listen
