Sure is:

The 32-year-old is eligible for the universities team as she is a PhD candidate at the University of Brighton, where she is researching effects of medical transition.
“Being male-born, the general argument which I’m trying to disprove in my research is that trans women have an advantage and that you’re taking a place away from a girl,” she told Pride Of The Terraces.

I thought the whole point of research was to go in with an open mind. Not to know which side you want to be the answer.

If this is the same Blair Hamilton then I imagine they will be biased:

There's Blair Hamilton, called Dr., I thought they were a student?

Also, it's hopefully just badly worded, about the integration of transpeople into sport. Like the decision's already been made. Unless they mean tm into women's sports and tw into men's. That I could get behind.

Though the makeup of the panel is still ridiculous.

Is Blair Hamilton a woman? Or a trans-iden...
<tails off>
You know what I mean.

As Maya would say, a Manel.

Squinting at that picture as it's quite small - are they all male, by any chance?

The MN upgrade has made looking at images totally fucking shit, they remain miniscule when you click on them and/or are blurry. Progress eh? Much like having an all male panel regarding TW in Women's Sport.

Unbelievable.

And a really stupid illustration of the entire problem.
