Well it's not often I'm speechless. This here is a bloke, complete with bald patch.

Yes, it's quite depressing really how many people seem to think that womanhood amounts to swishy hair and a bit of lipstick.

And for the people saying they would like to participate in Unisex sport, fair enough, but presumably you would like a heads up that there will be men competing, and you can make the choice beforehand. It's totally different to have a previously all female category suddenly include males because 'feelings'.

Oh yes. Definitely would like to know what I'm walking into. The silent misinterpretations are not for me. And pre- and post- match, I would like single sex facilities.
I didn't think all of that was loaded in the question.

I'm left wondering how many more people (not here, but in the general population) would defend that person's inclusion in women's sport and women's changing rooms if the player donned a cheap wig. Perhaps they do off the field. Perhaps their friends assure them that they "pass".

I'd like to try unisex rugby! But I'd still want a single sex option along side so that I can actually play without worrying... and maybe even win something and feel like I really earned it.

Wellies54 · 15/08/2022 10:45

And I 'm guessing if you asked most women whether they wanted to play unisex rugby they'd say no.

Wellies54 · 15/08/2022 10:42

Why is it so hard to understand that if biological males can compete in women's sport it is no longer women's sport, it is a unisex category for anyone who fancies joining in.

But would a man be any more of a woman if he had a luxurious head of hair, or a finer nose, or a less heavy jawline? What if he spent an hour "contouring" every morning? What if he had lumps of silicone inserted under his pecs?

Reminds me of Bunce.

None of the links they've been enthusiastically posting all over the boards lead to anything except a really childish website..
They must have just been pasting the wrong link Smile

That doesn't link to an article written by JKR

Maybe womens sport is important to women. Who knew?

Try listening to their pov instead of using misogynist language about them expressing their opinions. You might actually learn something beyond being a good handmaiden.

I’m glad yes no one is forcing them to compete and show up to any match

Who, the women?

yes, who cares if their sporting opportunities are limited. It's not like that matters right?

Also can you enlighten me as to how GAA wasn't inclusive before?

I’m glad sports are very inclusive these days

And what about the women who'll be pushed out because of this? Because of safety concerns of not making the team. You're glad about that are you?

Perhaps you can enlighten us as to when TW weren't included in GAA? They've always been able to play.

So ultimately what you're glad about is fewer opportunities for women. Nice.
