This is absurd.
I find it genuinely, head-scratchingly astonishing, that people are prepared to suspend belief and common-sense and accept it's OK for transgender 'women' to compete against proper women in any sport that requires speed, strength or both.
Two recent examples - Hannah Mouncey, Aussie Rules footballer and Australian Women Handball competitor.

Put simply, it is fundamentally unfair that these 'women' should be allowed to compete against women - if they want to compete, why can't they continue to compete against the men...or is it that against men they can't compete?
I always think of this absurdity in Rugby terms, simply because Rugby is my game, and if there's any game where TG 'women' should not be allowed to compete against women, it's this game, and thankfully, World Rugby agrees, much to Stonewall's chagrin, who became most upset - the message from Stonewall is clear; the rights of TG 'women' in Rugby Top Trumps the rights of proper women.
Sarah Hunter, an England Number 8 weighs 12 stone - Billy Vunipola, an England Number 8 weighs 20 stone...but he's also as strong as an Ox. If Vunipola decided to transition, Stonewall thinks he should be allowed to play against proper women. This is just bananas.

DD: "I find it genuinely, head-scratchingly astonishing, that people are prepared to suspend belief and common-sense and accept it's OK for transgender 'women' to compete against proper women in any sport that requires speed, strength or both." - could not have put it better myself. Total madness and it's getting madder. I can only assume the suits in Olympic land are terrified of being labelled by the LibFacs. It's the only explanation, anyone with half a brain can see that. As for the MMA bout highlighted by Pixie! That's even worse, must someone die before someone dies before TROB et al accept that as much as they'd prefer the contrary even blokes who become "women" are much stronger that actual women.
