Apparently it’s not that easy as we see with the whole Caster Semanya debacle. In the vast majority of cases it is. Well yes that’s surely what the debate is about how we incorporate transgender women into sports is about. Because your simplistic approach will not cover the vast majority of cases (including transgender and intersex athletes.) |

"Scientifically informed" indeed. There's no science involved in declaring oneself something which one is not. I think you need to look at your definition of science. What you're thinking about is whatever the opposite of science is. Mumbo-jumbo. So says the man in the pub. |

You don't need a weatherman to know the way the wind blows.
You keep believing your juju, if you like. Just don't expect to be taken seriously just because a few other defective dummies agree with you online.

Because your simplistic approach will not cover the vast majority of cases (including transgender and intersex athletes.) What are you babbling about? It covers all transgender and the vast majority of women. There'sa tiny fraction of the popultaion like caster who are a touch grey but they can be sorted on a case by case basis. If you're a woman by sex you get to play women's sport. if you were born a man you get to play men's sport. |

Or you could play women's sport if it's non-contact and you're not expecting a woman's prize money or trophy and you're not taking the place of a woman.
I suspect that support for this sort of thing lies mainly with those who were left on the bench and/or the shelf.

Support for this kind of thing comes from an ideology, women are complaining about the unfairness of this and the woke have thier hands over thier ears doing the "lalalalala" bit, biological men should not be competing aginst women, they are not women!

Even in the Guardian:
However, a number of scientific papers have recently shown people who have undergone male puberty retain significant advantages in power and strength even after taking medication to suppress their testosterone levels. Hubbard lived as a male for 35 years, and did not compete in international weightlifting. But since transitioning in 2012 she has won several elite titles.
It'ds delusional.
I think I might open the bowling for NZ this year.

Well on the subject of the election, if Jenner can do the job then go for it, don't play the trans card, actually make a reasoned argument why you can do the job better and why voting for Jenner will make your life better, it's not just about sports.

Not really. They hounded out whatshername a few months ago for crimes against transgendery.

So, a question that's come up recently - so perhaps our permanently outraged puce offended by everything brigade can let me know what they think:
How do you react when you see someone put their pronouns in their email signature. You know "pronouns: he him/she her/ they them"
Someone was saying they were concerned that their clients might react badly to seeing that rather than just treat it neutrally.
Given that you lot are the kind who get offended by everything, you're probably fairly representative of the people they're concerned about offending. Any thoughts?

I don't give much of a sh*t about anything unless it affects me.
