Nobody is singling out trans competitors. I don't think any males should be allowed to compete against females, regardless of gender identity.
Preventing trans women from competing in sport is denying their human rights. Most athletes have some form of advantage, such as fast-twitch muscle fibres, large hearts & lungs or extra long legs. Why single out trans competitors? https://www.cyclingweekly.com/news/racing/preventing-trans-women-competing-denying-human-rights-transgender-athlete-rachel-mckinnon-returns-defend-track-world-title-440713#YcXIv2c8K4qvKXlm.99 … FOLLOW @MunroeBergdorf

Just like nobody is singling out heavyweights when they're not allowed box against flyweights.

This competitor doesn’t have just ONE advantage (“Most athletes have some form of advantage, such as fast-twitch muscle fibres, large hearts & lungs or extra long legs”), they have ALL the advantages of a biological male. It’s grossly unfair.pic.twitter.com/eyUYxP3KC3

If this had been a Monty Python sketch i'd have said it was too ridiculous

You demean the concept of human rights by framing this as a human rights issue. Male-bodied competitors can compete in men's competitions if they're good enough. That's as far as rights go. Allowing male-bodied competitors into women's competitions will destroy women's sport.

Total bollocks Peter. Sport should be segregated by SEX. Thats XX and XY chromosomes. Not by "perceived" gender. "True" women's will become a farce otherwise.

OK, lets abolish lightweight and heavyweight categories and have bigger men smash smaller men to pieces. That would be fun to watch. Or maybe just bring back lions?

‘Most athletes have some form of advantage, such as fast-twitch muscle fibres, large hearts & lungs or extra long legs.’ This appears an argument against a female sports category at all. Is this your argument? If it is then please make it explicitly.

Seems like an argument for more categories - protected category of few fast twitch muscle fibres - which would exclude those people with lots of fast twitch muscle fibres (previously known as men)
