Davies concluded with: They [transwomen] won't be excluded from sport though they'll just be excluded from a category where it's not fair.
I thought that was an excellent point. Apparently there is a jockey who is a trans woman but it causes no friction in a sport where Rachel Blackmore has shown that she can compete on equal terms with men.

Sharron is very good at explaining things to a general audience who are less familiar with the topic.

@Triotriotrio

I just don't understand how Ivy keeps repeating there is no evidence that transwomen have an advantage. There is loads!! Why does no one point this out.

Sharron was great though!

I thought this should have been pointed out too, lead with infact

Again with the 'well funded'.

Where's ma fookin funds?? 💰🤲🏻💰😕

MarshaBradyo · 09/04/2022 09:03

I felt the same as Sharron listening to previous speaker

I wanted to say no pretty clearly

I’m glad this is changing

Similar to Lavery a few days ago Ivy will be opening people's eyes to the madness. Saying transwomen don't have male bodies was just bizarre.

Followed immediately with a rational argument by Sharron Davies.

More sunlight!

NotBad, I also flinched to hear Ivy, but am pleased that Ivy was linked to their previous name, Rachel McKinnon, in case anyone new to the debate should feel inclined to do some background reading.

ProfessorLayton1 · 09/04/2022 08:53

Fair interview and good to see the trans activists being asked tough appropriate question. Sharon Davies was excellent as usual.

Yes this is key. Not anti-trans but pro women. Competition has to be fair
Dimenw · 09/04/2022 08:52

Sharon Davies also good, made the point that nobody is trying to ban transwomen from sport, only from categories where it would be unfair.
"Language is important"
(Also, extra points to Dr Ivy for the most uses of c*s in one minute)

That was great. The nation will be choking on their cornflakes at the person before Sharron.

Thank you Sharron for standing up for women and girls, and sport and fairness Thanks

LizzieMacQueen · 09/04/2022 08:51

I liked the boiler egg analogy.

EveSix · 09/04/2022 08:50

Well done, Nick and Sharon.

zanahoria · 09/04/2022 08:50

Short and sharp but always good to hear her authorative voice

Lottapianos · 09/04/2022 08:50

Well done Sharron. Clear, well informed and sane

LizzieMacQueen · 09/04/2022 08:50

Pmk. Heard it on in the back ground, going to listen again alongside your comments. It sounded good.

Sorry that wasn’t supposed to post,

Agree with above and if we don’t fight this we will lose woman’s sport

NotBadConsidering · 09/04/2022 08:47

Why is Nick Robinson interviewing an overweight, out of shape male who failed as a college professor and once rode in a women’s competition, before abusing multiple women online? Did he ask Ivy about those abusive tweets?

Even Phillippa York would he better, at least York was good.

ivykaty44 · 09/04/2022 08:47

Robinson: Testosterone level are not enough, male puberty, inbuilt advantage

Ivy: The science shows opposite, no permanent advantage

Robinson: If there's no advantage, why not get rid of women's sport?

ResisterRex · 09/04/2022 08:47

@Zeugma

How surprising that the fragrant Dr Ivy won’t answer why we have separate sex-based sport categories. Excellent persistence from Nick Robinson. I imagine it must come as a bit of a shock not to be fawned over.
It's a "different question" dontchaknow???
