Laurel is an amazing trailblazer and everyone is so mean. Obviously no mention of the women who miss out.

They are also systematically weighted against slightly overweight, 40- odd year old women with a rubbish pelvic floor, but look out for me at the next Olympics.*

*Event to be decided in due course.

But if sports weren’t so systemically weighted against trans people — and specifically transfeminine people — Hubbard would not be saddled with the burden of being the first.

Why transfeminine people ? Transmen don't even get a look in.

Yes. Absolutely.

We are so mean to point out Laurel was overweight, unfit, twice as old as the other competitors and had no chance of winning after a career ending injury in 2018.

Laurel is so brave. Some might call it having a brass neck, but she is soo stunning and brave.
