I got caught by this yesterday at work. The resident Faragist evangelist brought it up while I was at the nursing desk on CCU reviewing a patient's notes, and we had a short conversation between him, me and a nursing assistant. I didn't have the true information, so I was at a disadvantage, I'll have to put him right next time I see him.
It just goes to show that the far right influencers have gone into overdrive since the general election. The probably know that Labour are going to crack down on misinformation pretty soon, so they're out to do as much damage as they can before they're muzzled.
I believe the IAAA have come up with the right solution; if you have transitioned after puberty you can only compete in the gender you were assigned at birth and the tests that are carried out measure testosterone. Male or female don't come into it.
I cannot comprehend how the ITV GMB YT channel allowed sonebody to post that "they hoped the Algerian authorities "sorted the situation" when they returned home" That's advocating a so called "honour murder" This country makes me sick
Its such a fluid situation. I have been a skateboarder for years and it was a male dominated sport for years. Women are starting to participate which is great. Females bodies are actually built better for this as they have a lower centre of gravity. But men have the strength which over rides this physical advantage. To me both of the competitors in the female punching convention had strong traditional male characteristics just one was more so than the other. I remember this issue coming up 20 years ago and it still hasn`t been resolved so maybe it doesn`t have a solution?
I'm an expert. But from what I know, performance is more complex than just testosterone levels. Studies have shown that there is a small proportion of males with low T who out-perform females with higher T in running events. Hormones like Oxytocin effect bone strength. And Cortisol levels and rate of increase effect power. On paper males with higher muscle mass to body mass and larger heart and lungs should always beat females in ultra-marathon events, but many females beat males.
Nicola Adams, the British double Olympic champion, who knows a hell of a lot more about female boxing than you, has called for their disqualification. They are biologically men. They should not be beating the cr*p out of women. You people are twisted and sick.
Over did it with that explanation in the beginning. And conflating being a man pretending to be a woman to being trans was painful. I get your points but please use better descriptions or just stop talking about trans bodies in that way at all.
That's interesting about the shooting events frequently being won by women when they were mixed because I had someone the other day claim that a trans woman shouldn't be allowed to compete in the women's darts category because 'it's been proven women are naturally poorer at target practice'. Of course they didn't cite any sources, just insisted 'there are studies'. One common theme with transpobes is 1. They don't care about women in sports even though they pretend to and 2. They lie CONSTANTLY.
Terfs their feelings don't care about the facts.
I agree with many things you say. However, not here. Castor somenya, and I believe a few cases at this Olympics, has an intersex condition and lives life, outside of sport, as a man.
I'm pretty liberal but I have a daughter who likes sports. It's just not fair for her to compete against men in whatever sport she should choose.
If you want to be trans, knock yourself out. Be trans. But don't then use the advantages you have with a male testosterone boosted puberty to 'compete' against women. It's just not fair.
Could this be putting her in danger in her own country?, This was always going to happen to cis women that don't fit terf norms will.
Awful ….
Media chaos is the tactic. The goal? Divide and conquer.
It is quite noticeable to me that there are NO Russian or Belorussian athletes competing at the Paris Olympics, unless they are competing under a neutral flag? The flagbearer of the Refugee flag was apparently awaiting UK asylum as a gay person from Cameroon (if I recall rightly?) where homosexuality is illegal. 😢
Reminds me of Hingis and co complaining about the Williams sisters
What difference does it make, really?
Trotty Botty Hamstring for the Al Gore Rhythm… 🐷
All the mainstream media today inferring that Khelif is trans. They seem determined to have trans women attacked.
So Graham, in your opinion the Italian boxer was wrong, or whinging or perhaps imagining it when she said she had never been hit as hard before and within a minute of the start. Does that make her Transphobic or Genderphobic or whatever ridiculous simplistic label you choose to dismiss her complaint with.
Latest Olympic report said that trans women can be at a disadvantage (let alone having an advantage).
As to a seperate trans category – there are nowhere near enough trans people (let alone trans athletes) to make it viable.
You could tell Transphobes that Imane Khelif is not a trans woman until you're blue and show them the evidence as well and have zero effect.
