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

How notable that there is not a sinlge peice of supporting evidence for this entire post. You have been called out on everything you have asserted in tha tpost in tha past, and yet you complain that "others" are just repeating themselves in thise thread.

Once again, this is just evidence free waffle, backed up with no facts whatsoever.

Are you still running away from the question : Do you agree that post pubescent male sex athletes have a significant performance advantage over females sex athletes? Yes or no?

They’ve been a member of the IOC a long time now and have never been in an Olympics? I could see how it might be a move if it weren’t in conflict with the IOC guidelines, but if FIDE wanted to distance itself from the IOC, then I could see how it might be a good move. Given the games are being held in Paris, there’s a possibility chess might make an appearance in some form as another aim of the IOC is to jump on the bandwagon to promote their own events to attract young people, and chess does fit in with their aims of including more accessible sports. There’s almost no sport more accessible than chess.

FIN in that case I guess… 😬

I’d say I was sorry for that awful, awful pun, the French was still booting around in my brain, but you wouldn’t believe me 😂

There was no dig at your intelligence, your intelligence or your intellect is completely unrelated to understanding the point. There’s good reason you won’t have understood the point, but it has nothing to do with your intellect or your intelligence.

The point certainly wasn’t about advantages or disadvantages, and I didn’t mention bin collectors, just like I didn’t mention many thousands of other occupations or social activities. Machinery does most of the work now in waste collection management and recycling. This has been enabled by a combination of technology and increased health and safety standards. It’s meant that previously in an industry dominated by men, there are now more women in the industry than there previously were, with the advantage that less men are dying, but the disadvantage for some men at least, being that men who would previously have been employed in the industry, are now unemployed. Similar trends have emerged in the construction industry. Obviously increasing standards and quality of living have influenced that outcome too.

Sports aren’t any different - some sports are thriving, some sports are dying on their arse, and new sports are emerging all across the globe.

From how I’ve been educated in this thread? Your question isn’t even worth thinking about in that case. What sort of a man would allow themselves to be beaten by a woman? A man will win of course in all circumstances, in every sport.

Like this fine specimen:

When someone has an agenda to push, misunderstandings and unclear language are par for the course.

Most sporting bodies have now acknowledged that transwomen have a physical advantage over cis women.

I dont see that trend reversing, but it will probably stoke an argument ad infinitum from the trans movement, because it will forever create a dividing line between trans & cis women.

Its sad for trans rights, but i suppose that the sporting bodies see it as an inconvenient truth.

Most sporting bodies have now acknowledged that transwomen have a physical advantage over cis women.

Most sporting bodies haven’t said anything either way. Some international sporting bodies have done as you suggested, but their affiliated sporting bodies at national level have decided to ignore the guidelines, meaning that competitors records won’t be recognised for qualification for international competitions, but they can still compete at national and local levels.

The FRU for example have ignored the guidelines issued by World Rugby, and similar organisations in a few countries have made similar statements regarding FIDEs decision:

Oh stop.

This thread is not anti trans. You well know that.

I refer to myself as a man. What would you refer to me as?

Explain please.

Lost.

I'm not a user. Calling me a drug addict?

I'm a man. Say it.

That post is cowardly.

Do you accept me as a male?

Yes or no. Simple.

I've always been honest on this thread. It wasn't difficult. And I'll continually to do so.
