FuriousFifties · 04/12/2018 10:19

BubonicBudgie · 04/12/2018 10:19

Who is this twat? My god!

UpstartCrow · 04/12/2018 10:19

How fucking insulting to athletes!

AbsintheFriends · 04/12/2018 10:18

She is not coming over as being remotely intelligent or authoritative. These arguments are risable - it's like a parody.

Thanks Beth!

We cap ourselves psychologically... mmm Hmm

megletthesecond · 04/12/2018 10:18

"Push themselves more to achieve".. Angry

Zeugma · 04/12/2018 10:18

Is this person totally thick? Can they genuinely not understand that men would always win if sport was made completely mixed?

Jesus wept

BertBox · 04/12/2018 10:18

Push yourselves harder women!

UpstartCrow · 04/12/2018 10:18

Where men have a physical advantage, sports are sex segregated. It's not rocket science.

LikeDust · 04/12/2018 10:18

Oh right. Women don't push ourselves hard enough.

BubonicBudgie · 04/12/2018 10:18

Bullshit

megletthesecond · 04/12/2018 10:17

I'd like an example of these mixed gender sports teams.

incallthebloodytime · 04/12/2018 10:17

I think most females I know wouldn't even know what a "cis" woman is away from those I might discuss feminism with!

Probably think it's an affectionate term like "sis"

Don't think most women consider themselves "cis women" at all 😡

UpstartCrow · 04/12/2018 10:17

''There's no evidence''

The results are the evidence ffs.

BubonicBudgie · 04/12/2018 10:17

Then most women will give up sport

LikeDust · 04/12/2018 10:16

I thought testosterone is a known performance enhancing drug? Hmm

Cuntysnark · 04/12/2018 10:16

I bet she has time to tweet!

megletthesecond · 04/12/2018 10:16

Didn't have the time. Didn't want to get questioned too deeply more like.

Cuntysnark · 04/12/2018 10:16

I’m already riled.

AbsintheFriends · 04/12/2018 10:15

I wish Jane would specifically define 'transwomen'. I'm sure there must be loads of WH listeners who think it means women who identify as men, and wouldn't see any problem with them taking part in women's sport.
