Transgender man wins women's 100 yd and 400 yd freestyle races.

Triumph for bottoms-up common sense. Can't wait to see the reaction from those Media Studies students - funded by international money and aggressively supported by our govmt - explaining how this is a sad "backward step" LOL!!

Momentum and the wider narrative counts for a lot in this battle ground. Afterall it was the copious amounts of feelings and misguided kindness that drove the media and NGO types to bully us to where we are now.

Therefore it's heartening to note that this decision follows similar decisions from world rugby and world swimming recently.

On to the other sporting organisations now. Tbh it's an awful vista that little girls would be growing up and expected to participate in adult contact sports where there's essentially biological men, having benefitted from the physical advantages that that brings, togged out in the same gear, crashing into them. It's just not fair not to mind it's dangerous. This is not written as a slight against those trans people who want to participate in the sports, rather an opinion on the physical facts and reality of what young women would be exposed to at a time where we are trying our best to keep girls and women in sports

this is a good way to lean into stupid rules

Are you more concerned with the thread title than you are with biological men identifying as women and entering women's sports?

The common view here is that transwomen shouldn't be allowed to enter women's sports due to the advantages male puberty gives them.

You are indeed correct that the title should say Transgender woman but on the scale of things, hardly worth getting worked up over.

The original thread title was about a trans man winning a women's race. So what I'd say. What's news about that.

The thread went off piste and people got entrenched with transwomen in women's sports and that rabbit hole and all the heat around that. Which is the opposite of the thread title which is not even a talking point one way or the other.

And to answer your question. No, I don't think there's a place for transwomen in most women's sports, elite or otherwise, unless it's a sport where physicality is not a major factor.

What you might actually have to talk to trans people to understand them?

Pistol whipped in air quotes 🤣

Really watering down the argument there if you’re equating sensitivity training with violence

on a thread about children being shot up at a school. Wow.

Biased propaganda 🤣

”pistol whipped”

Youre doing more for the trans movement right now than the anti trans movement.

Conspiracy theories 🤣🤣🤣

they are though, you’re peddling a conspiracy theory that violent radical transgender activists are secretly infiltrating sensitivity training classes to pistol whip people for the transgender movement. Utterly clowning.

Polished turd language for Yes Overheal it is a conspiracy theory.

Whataboutery.

🤡 What I don't have is any evidence for your conspiracy theory.

I didn't think someone would tell me sensitivity training would be infiltrated by a clandestine group of violent trans persons with pistols.
