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

It is, but sure here we are.

You've done nothing, as always, to dispel the science.

I only had to dispel your ridiculous claim -

What someone says or feels has zero impact on scientific fact.

I’ve done that.

It's good of you to bring up the LGFA having transwomen compete in their sport. The poster Boggles has been claiming that no such thing happens. (I'd posted about this myself a page back).

No I didn't. I asked several times to quantify how many play sports at any level. Given no one could, the assumption was none or at least not many.

So far you have come up with one from 4 years ago. Are they still playing?

So the answer looks like either 1 or 0 again, would that be accurate?

Your original claim I have dispelled. Your new claim, is also not scientific fact, it’s a two-part statement that’s doing nothing more than stating the bloody obvious.

For the sake of the same simplicity, I’m assuming you’re referring to sex, and you mean at will. That’s just nature, not scientific fact. It cannot be shown to be wrong.

You’re not likely to see the results of your broader hypothesis as the results are unlikely ever to be made public, it’ll simply be the case that women who see themselves as women, it turns out that their chromosomes indicate they are to be classified as men. Provided they don’t look like men, I would imagine the sports organisations which use the test will keep shtum, in order to uphold the idea that the testing works as intended. It worked before, until it didn’t -

The only opinions that are mock that those are that fundamentally ridiculous.

The issue of trans rights, and the issue of trans people in sports are separate issues. The idea that you have to get behind both or else you some unwoke boomer is idiotic.
If you want to make an argument, make an argument. Attacking people people personally, not their statements is last resort stuff. Anyone going there first evidentially had nothing worthwhile to say.

… science to answer questions it simply cannot answer, such as questions of whether or not men who say they are women have an advantage in women’s sports that could be regarded as unfair.

Science can answer than very easy.
A person assign male at birth, who transitions to live an a female post puberty, retains a significantly physical and hormonal advantage.
If a person assign female at birth sought the same hormonal advantage exogenously, and were cauht. They would be banned for life.

I’d suggest they’re at a rather considerable disadvantage given how they are likely to be perceived, but that’s just me.

That doesn't appears to be based on any fact related to performance.

 I'll concede it hasn't happened much here yet (to my knowledge) due to the small numbers, but in the US, which is further down the path of trans inclusion than we are

We actually do have some official figures from the States.

https://thehill.com/homenews/lgbtq/5046662-ncaa-president-transgender-athletes-college-sports/

“How many athletes are there in the U.S. in NCAA schools?” Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) asked Baker during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing Tuesday on federal regulations around sports gambling. 

“Five hundred and ten thousand,” said Baker, a former Republican governor of Massachusetts who has served since 2023 as president of the NCAA, which governs intercollegiate athletics at more than 1,000 colleges and universities across the country. 

“How many transgender athletes are you aware of?” Durbin asked. 

“Less than 10,”

So less than 10, so that figure is between 0 and 9.

That could be between 0 and 9 trans women or 0 and 9 trans men.

But no one cares about trans men, so we will go high and say 6 trans women.

6 out of 510,000.

Which gives us 0.0012%.

If girls are "quiet quitting", it's nothing to do with trans people. Would you agree given there is virtually none playing sports in that fairly substantial sample size?

I also found this stat.

This bizarre focus on trans people, who make up approximately 1% of the population, is demonstrated by the fact that as of March 15, there have already been over 745 anti-trans bills introduced in state legislatures across the country in 2025 alone.

It's almost like something else is going on here.

It's not the cranks on twitter that is the main concern.

Again

This bizarre focus on trans people, who make up approximately 1% of the population, is demonstrated by the fact that as of March 15, there have already been over 745 anti-trans bills introduced in state legislatures across the country in 2025 alone.

Something else is at play here.

I don't think this is the most important issue facing the country, that's housing, but that doesn't mean it's not an issue

It's not even an issue in sports here.

The 3 main issues we face at the moment, is pitch availably, coaching availability and official availability.

Then their is 1000 other issues, none of which relate to trans people.

To mention it in the same sentence as housing is very strange.

Being antii-trans, and being against transwomen in womens sports are entirely separate viewpoints.

I think you'll find the all bigots would be both.

There is nothing cranky or bigoted about acknowledging biological men in female sport is unfair.

That isn't what I said, but you know that.

Irish Trans people should be encouraged to play sports, as all people should, at a level that suits their ability.

But sadly none do and are not likely to in the future given the sustained campaign of hate and fear mongering that has been waged upon them.
