    This whole ‘transwomen in women’s sport’ argument is back to front and upside down. It is starting from a position of ‘Transwomen deserve places in women’s sport’ and then is asking women to work backwards and prove that wrong.

        The correct argument should start with ‘Male people should never be in women’s sport’ and the onus put on to transactivists to then prove why exceptions should be made. And the evidence needs to be compelling or you default back to ‘Male people should never be in women’s sport’

        The evidence isn’t compelling in the slightest, and the IOC’s own guidelines talk about minimising the advantage. Minimising shouldn’t even be in the equation, you must prove there is ZERO advantage. ANY doubt, and we’re back to ‘Male people should never be in women’s sport’

        The fact that there have been changes made at such speed, and with insufficient thought, really does speak as to how women’s sport is undervalued. It also demonstrates that the idea that male people feel entitled to simply take what women have is very much alive and well

        We need solid proof that ZERO women will miss out on their rightful finishing position in a race, or place on a team due to an unfair advantage from a male athlete. This needs research and we’re nowhere near there yet. Until then, sorry, it should be no males in women’s sport

        The line between men and women in sport should be sex based, that is based on the physical make up of the human. Gender is not relevant in sport. The line is drawn physically for para athletes and there is no reason not to use the same between females and males,

        What’s new! Female sports for females - it’s that simple. No woman or girl should miss out/be disadvantaged or injured in any way by males demanding to compete/play in female sports

        But if this nonsense continues they will.There will only be Transwomen and men's sport.
