Transgender Footballer Quits
A transgender footballer whose physical power on the pitch left opponents 'terrified' is considering taking legal action for discrimination after opposing teams refused to play against them.
The boycott is said to have followed a player suffering a broken knee when 'blocking a shot' from the trans player Francesca Needham, 30.
Discrimination? How? This person is a man playing in a woman's team. Isn't it time sports governing bodies put a stop to this on-going nonsense once and for all by making a positive decision right now to ban these second-rate sportsmen - who if competing against men would be nothing more than also-rans - from women's sports altogether?

Good.I'd like to see women take this boycotting action whenever a faux-woman competes.If all the American women swimmers refused to swim against 'Lia' Thomas, the nonsense of allowing 'her' to compete against proper women would stop immediately.

unlikely. a strong player gives the team a competitive edge they won't want to lose. their competitors will either have to train harder or field their own "strong player". the ultimate (and perhaps inevitable) conclusion of this process is that there will just be "sport", in which there will be no gender segregation or boundaries.

In that case sport that requires strength in any area will, for women, be no more. If the prospect of them winning becomes remote - which if competing against men is inevitable - it won't be worth their effort to train or to compete.
There are a lot of very strong women around who also do what used to called men's jobs. Should they be banned from women's teams too. Just a thought. Perhaps mixed teams and tests for strength along with ability? Only musing. I was just thinking about my horrors having to play hockey at school and some of the really tough butch girls. I ended up with a blood clot on my shin for a year!!

Most of men's sport does not actually prevent women from playing if they are good enough, they hardly ever are.
//the ultimate (and perhaps inevitable) conclusion of this process is that there will just be "sport", in which there will be no gender segregation or boundaries.// erm so don't have women only teams, let's have a mashup of mixed together, then watch the injuries or worse, and man pretending to be a women is still a man, it's not equality, its politics.
I've felt that for some time fender.
The vast majority of normal thinking people know it is an an absurdity for 'Lia' Thomas to compete against proper women, so I have absolutely no doubt the majority of NCAA officials know its wrong, but I also have no doubt they are just simply too scared to speak-out.
"I was just thinking about my horrors having to play hockey at school and some of the really tough butch girls. I ended up with a blood clot on my shin for a year!!"
But that's because of the game, not the people playing it. My games master introduced hockey one year, part way through the football season. By the end of the third week there so many boys injured (one of whom was me) and unable to participate in any game - be it football or hockey - that the idea was abandoned.
Hockey is a ridiculous game, especially among young boys (and probably girls, "butch" or not). To arm them with what amounts to a shillelagh and expect them to show restraint in a competitive game is like asking bears to use public conveniences as their ablutions.
