It’s total bobbins

Her examples are nonsense

No point arguing with the truly captured tho & lots of ppl are pointing out she’s talking shite in the answers

The other massive point she’s missing is that it’s not just about the craziness of mixed sex sports - but that men are calling themselves women and taking the fastest times.

@McDuffy

My days... I've said it on here before, but my DH is a decent club runner. Top 2,000 athletes in the country. Last time I checked only 23 women were ranked higher than him Hmm if a woman turned up and beat him at parkrun (so in about 16 minutes), I'd buy her bottomless brunch Grin
Yes a bottomless brunch and then the prize of her time not being recognized as the achievement it is, due to other ‘women’s’ times suddenly being even better than hers. Hmm what could they other women have in common?

It blows my mind that she’s spent all that time compiling a narrative of why women are losing out by having their sex based sports categories, it’s gaslighting to the extreme - except I think she actually believes it?
