This issue so complex. It’s nothing to do with racism, feminism or about the genetic advantage of a single person. The effects of elevated testosterone on performance can’t be ignored. I truly believe this is in the interests of protecting female athletes’ rights and competition.https://twitter.com/jon_brown_/status/1097985800816324608 …
Transgender is different and I understand Navratilova’s point. If you are born and grow up male you cannot be allowed to compete in female sports simply because you ‘identify’ as female. It makes a mockery of the definitions of male and female sports categories.

I wonder if one way of making things fair is to rule that taking any drugs that adjust someone’s performance to improve or even lessen their abilities should be banned. I don’t think it is fair for instance to medicate in order to qualify for a sports category.

Only if you think that it's fair to essentially exclude the vast majority of female people from competing at the top level of sports

ITA, Paula. Females have a right to sex-segregated sports. Women should not be forced to compete against mediocre biological males who can't cut it in men's sports. Not only is it blatantly unfair, women have been seriously injured by trans 'women'.pic.twitter.com/6or0IRpeKG

I can't speak for the rest, but you're aware the top right is a trans man, who is forced to compete against women because only the sex you're born with counts?
