Cycling is 90% legwork , "she" has the legs of a man and no breasts (can't believe I actually bothered to look) Blush

If this is allowed to continue 'real' women will become disillusioned with competitive sport and we will be left with just 2 categories :- male and transgender female . Women will be forced out of competitive sport altogether at this rate !

It has been argued that drug cheats should be banned for life because of 'muscle memory' as a result of steroid use etc.
Surely a transgender female has similar advantages 'gender memory' because his/her body spent many years developing as a male . Simply by removing testosterone doesn't remove the benefits of its presence in body development .

From SH's opening link:

McKinnon argued her competing is not a question of athletic advantage, but one of human rights.

"We cannot have a woman legally recognized as a trans woman in society, and not be recognized that way in sports," McKinnon was quoted as saying. "Focusing on performance advantage is largely irrelevant because this is a rights issue.

We shouldn't be worried about trans people taking over the Olympics. We should be worried about their fairness and human rights instead."

What about the rights of women who will finish a lap behind them...? Sad

NOBODY CAN CHANGE SEX....
It is up the Medical profession who know this to speak out instead of keeping quiet.

If you take a man or woman of equal sporting ability on average, the man will be stronger, have more stamina be more durable and have more aggression, this gives them a big advantage in sport, which includes cycling.

Women have to bear children.

EVOLUTION made us this way, we cannot change it, sorry.

Equestrian men and women are reasonably equal because the HORSE does most of the work.

Because we have made the world easier with our science women can do more than they ever did before and
have been liberated from ever lasting childbirth as most children survive to adulthood, something they did not in the past.

But MEN are still MEN and WOMEN are still WOMEN.

I feel we need to remind ourselves of that.

Apart from a few cases with both genetalia, the parents have to decide if they raise them as boy or girl and operations etc. Fair enough if in later life they decide they are the opposite sex then ok fair enough.

maybe testosterone  linked  ... men generally  will always strive to achieve and get better at just about everything if they are able to,  whereas women generally  aren't as bothered or couldn't care less  (hence the reason women don't engage in sports as much as men )  although times are changing  and that could be due to decreasing testosterone in males

I notice the BBC using the word gender fluid in some of their program titles...I don't watch them

So we just decide our own sex now? it has nothing to do with the way we are born????

I would guess the number of male chess players far outweighs the number of female chess players which might have something to do with it, the best chess players from the largest group (male) will obviously outperform the best performers from the smaller group (female).
If there were an equal amount of male to female players playing chess the lack of females in the top 100 would then be worth mentioning. But it's really predominantly a male pasttime.

I think sport was originally meant for men to allow them to release their violence in a controlled, peaceable way.

Now it is entertainment as well, but it serves a useful purpose for men, instead of having wars we compete at sport..

Although I am not quite sure how well that has succeeded..as we still have wars..oh wellSad


Still it now seems ladies now want to compete physically with each other, so it is not for me to stop them.

They need to release aggression as well now, and it good for fitness for both sexes.


Trans-gender is a bit of a difficulty, because they have been with men's superior physical abilities and aggression

Perhaps we should have trans gender sports, but it is getting all a bit complicated tbh???????????????????Crazy
