And anything in between for me

 

If you're going in between just make sure the 7st boxer is on top

 

Just hope to **** he doesn't get lost in the crack of her arse.

I suppose when the rules were made people who wanted to change sex were banged up in asylums, so it wasn't a consideration. It really seems like huge **** up though. How can someone with such an obvious biological advantage be allowed to compete?

 

Favourite for the snatch?

 

Rules changed in 2015 to allow Transgenders to compete (subject to certain conditions).
Just another sign the world is slowly (?) going mad.
Cancel me if you want for speaking common sense and for what nearly everyone really thinks, whilst we have to adopt stupidity to pander to the c. 1% minorities.

 

Just an interesting piece about trans

Rugby is right to put player safety before identity issues

World Rugby has come to a decision. It is a sensible decision. It is the safest decision. Now let’s see if it flies in 2020.

After six months of consultation, scientific analysis and research, World Rugby have reached the conclusion that men are not women on the sports field, even if they identify as such.

It is incredibly hard to say that now. The modern consensus is that a person can be whatever gender they choose and to argue otherwise is hateful.

That’s no use in rugby, sadly. In rugby, if everyone gets to pick a side, someone could die. So decisions must be made that go against the grain. World Rugby convened a meeting in February to begin work on reconciling trans issues and player welfare, specifically whether a person transitioning or identifying as a woman could participate safely in women’s rugby.

World Rugby made the sensible decision in choosing not to allow transgender women to play against women
The conclusion was they could not. A person who has gone through male puberty retains significant physical advantages over a born female, even if taking medication to lower testosterone.

This equates to being stronger by 25-50 per cent, heavier by 40 per cent and faster by 15 per cent. And, potentially, that is dangerous.

At this point of discovery, modern sensibilities are of less importance: a 38-page draft document taking into account the views and work of scientists and medical experts estimated a ‘20-30 per cent greater risk’ of physical injury for females tackling any player who has experienced male puberty.

The report also reveals testosterone suppressants result in ‘only small reductions in strength and no loss in bone mass or muscle volume’.

This, for now, should be the end of it. World Rugby has said it will continue funding research into new evidence and will review any that emerges. No ban is in place yet, either. The paper has merely been sent to unions for feedback. Indeed, one can almost feel the contortions as World Rugby try to be fair and inclusive. Yet, in a sport with such extreme risk attached, that has been forced to confront fatality and life-altering injury, surely player welfare sits above all.

As it should in other sports, such as mixed martial arts, that could benefit from World Rugby’s thoughtfulness and concern. This is not about transgender exclusion. The proposals also recommend that transgender men — a person assigned female at birth — should be free to play men’s rugby. Inclusivity, however, meets its match in player welfare. Safety is more than an identity issue.

 

Imagine if Jonah Lomu had self identified as a woman...

 

6 months of consultation, research and analysis to conclude that men are not women on the sports field. Seriously? Crazy. As If hundreds of thousands of years of evolution might somehow have been overturned during the past few decades. I despair. Why cant people and organisations just say it as it is. Btw, no problem with lgbts, do what they want (so long as it harms nobody else), but dont expect the rest of the world to chamge.

 

I go along with what Mrs Patrick Campbell said...

 

I take it that you're not a big fan of dogging in places like Cheltenham, Beverley and Newton Abbot then?


Or Towcester.





I think I've invented a new game.


What are the first 3 racecourses you think of?

You can't repeat any already posted.




This'll keep you self-isolating saps entertained for the next 10 days.

 

For those who have not watched South Park, there’s a fantastic episode about a certain wrestler identifying as a woman and competing at a women’s strength competition. Nail on the head.

 

Bangor comes to mind, although that liable for a name change to Banghim.

 

Who knew, you can only have sex in bed?

 

my wife clearly doesn’t!!

 

Oh I don’t know about that mate….

 

ok…… with me. With you she’s clearly a different beast lol

 

Opening ceremony on now

 

It's not very diverse.
