YY meant Nicky Campbell. Tosser.

andyoldlabour · 04/03/2019 09:52

Lucy and Verity are very shouty - what a surprise!

MillytantForceit · 04/03/2019 09:51

Nicky Campbell.

(But Nick Ross is also a fool.)

And now we have someone deliberately confusing elite sport with sport for everyday health and fitness.

borntobequiet · 04/03/2019 09:51

Who would watch a Transgender Games? Apart from transpeople. I don’t think it would be cost effective to put on...and the argument and bickering would be spectacular. Well maybe it would be worth it for that.

BoreOfWhabylon · 04/03/2019 09:50

Verity - Mesmac

MhairiV · 04/03/2019 09:50

This insistence on throwing in exceptions as reasons to disregard the rule is absurd. "This one female born person once won this thing"...so effing what? What does that even mean in real terms? Just meaningless noise.

BoreOfWhabylon · 04/03/2019 09:49

Idiot Nicky Ross - "It's clearly ludicrous to have separate categories"

Gah!

Bloody Mesmac on!

Who is this Verity person?

Calvinsmam · 04/03/2019 09:49

There is no way they will go for a third option. But it's worth suggesting, constantly. Because it forces them to say why

Absolutely, it helps people see it for what it is. It’s not about equality or just a poor little trans person wanting to play a sport.
It’s about validation and they couldn’t give a fuck if that means taking things from women.

MillytantForceit · 04/03/2019 09:48

Prof of Sports Science lays down the law to all the fuckwit sociologists with a PhD in Bullshitting.

Objectivity Lives.

OVAgroundWOMBlingfree · 04/03/2019 09:47

This prof is spot on.

OvaHere · 04/03/2019 09:47

But if they had trans games then that would mean no one believed they were the sex they insist they are

Nobody does anyway not even the people who champion their cause. It's a harsh reality.

BoreOfWhabylon · 04/03/2019 09:47

Woo hoo! What's this guys name?

BoreOfWhabylon · 04/03/2019 09:46

Yes! Professor of Physioogy spelling out differences post-puberty, irrespective of T-levels!

"Legacy physiology"
This guy is smashing it. Yes.

andyoldlabour · 04/03/2019 09:45

I have already started shouting at the PC and my blood pressure is going up.
Why have 2 transgender people with no scientific expertise commenting?

TallulahWaitingInTheRain · 04/03/2019 09:42

Round of applause for DrW for all her work on this

littlbrowndog · 04/03/2019 09:41

Calvinsmam · 04/03/2019 09:40

I think there should be three categories.

Male, female, everyone.

I’ve seen this suggested before and it seems the easiest and simplist solution.

BoreOfWhabylon · 04/03/2019 09:36

Kat yes, he will never recover from Posie showing him up for what he is!

MillytantForceit · 04/03/2019 09:35

And there is curently no such thing as Transgender sport. The trans lobby are resisting its creation.

Sharron suggested a Trans Games like the Transplant Games.

I'd go for a Paralympic category.

Could do both.

BoreOfWhabylon · 04/03/2019 09:34

Rower bloke is great!

Can't stand that presenter.

MillytantForceit · 04/03/2019 09:32

You and Me baby aint nothing but animoles with nanomoles.

MhairiV · 04/03/2019 09:32

"Against transgender sport"
I wish they'd be more careful about how they frame this discussion - doubt anyone is against transgender sport. This is unfortunate language.
