Tom Daley interview

So does Tom also have a problem with adults not being able to compete in childrens sports? I presume when he was diving in junior competitions he’d have got a bit upset if grown ass adults had been in the competition and won. He’s a dick.

I know, I can't abide Tom and the nonsense he spouts at every opportunity, but I do feel "someone" should have protected him when he was young.

He's like one of those women who were groomed into a very young marriage to an older man and insist it was a success because they've stayed together and been controlled by him for 30 years.

He was a vulnerable young man who didn't know he was gay hadn't even come out when they met.

Couldn’t access the article but the title is wrong. No one is told they can’t compete because of who they are. They just can’t compete in whatever category they want….just like everyone else.

When you know about the history of his partner, Hollywood pool parties etc, it gets a lot worse!

@FeatherPend I'm pretty sure Dennis has no problem with "Debbie" Hayton in the ladies' loos; evidently, he's not such a great guy (as you have found). It's a shame when supposedly "good" men- especially gay, cos solidarity and all that- reveal what they really think of women. Followed a great bloke on twitter, "James"- but had to unfollow after he couldn't see a problem with the Darren Mew/Mermaids situation. I think I'm guilty of feeling over-appreciative when gay men are on "our" side, perhaps because I've lost the friendship of a gay male friend over this. And off-topic, but is anyone else getting that ad for tv licence with the douchebag in woman-face- it's really pissing me off and keeps jumping back when I close it!!!!

It's not that they wouldn't win.

If you take this to its logical conclusion, he is asking women to give up women's elite sport because non of them will eventually be able to compete at a high enough level to qualify for events like the Olympics etc. In not being able to place, they also would not get sponsorship deals. They would, in time, be phased out because they wouldnt get the funding nor the opportunity.

Tom the baby trafficker who hates women can do one.

As a lesbian I will from experience say that some of the most misogynistic men I've ever come across are gay.

I don't know why this is and any speculation of mine won't be based on facts. Even the 'good ones' ie Dennis Kav don't much like answering questions from old fat butch lesbians like myself .

The guy is an airhead. Should stick to diving - the only thing he knows,

Tom is a puppet for his much older "activist" partner. They got together when he was q7 and his father had just died. So many red flags. I doubt he actually understand the arguments he's been sent out to make.

God, he’s a vacuous numpty 🤦‍♀️

Tom's a dick.. he has one and is one 😡 and that's why he talks as he does....no death threats for Dick head Tom. 😤

If I was told I couldn’t compete because of who I was

relax Tom, I don’t think any sports ban you for being an insufferable prick.

(and of course no one’s barred from sport for having a prick either.)

When Lia Thomas (& another one had the same) wrote that statement 'Let Trans Kids Play' their arm when competing, it summed it up really. Women's sports are not 'playing', they are competing and women have their own category for a reason.

Tom is so dense light beds around him

I wonder what his opinion would be if superheavy weight boxers demanded to be allowed to compete against flyweight boxers? 🤔

He’s such a jumped up little shit.

certainly knew what a woman was when it was time to buy a baby didn’t he.

i can’t bear him

And how many young girls are/have been told they can't compete at something because they are girls. I'm only just getting to 40 and when I was at school there were sports us girls just didn't do... not that long ago! Can you imagine if every woman ever had accepted that the couldn't run a marathon because their wombs would fall out.

Women's sports exist because women weren't fucking wet, Tom. Like you clearly are, you misogynistic asshat.

Noone is actually telling transwomen that they "can't compete". Just that they have to compete in their correct fucking sex class. It's not fucking difficult or complicated.

Someone up thread has said it already. The ONLY reason anyone accepts any of this shite is sheer misogyny.

I really have reached the stage where the only response to any of it that I can muster is a torrent of swear words.

They bought their baby from a surrogate in the US and expressed their 'shock' that the UK isn't as 'progressive' wrt using women for their reproductive organs.

Tom seems to be quite happy to allow males to exploit females for their own benefit.

He really doesn't get it does he? And the interviewer acknowledges enabling him in this.

“I just think of myself when I was younger. I’m not transgender, obviously, but if I was told as a gay man I was never going to be able to compete because of who I was, then of course I’d never have tried.” - yes Tom but being gay doesn't give you a competitive advantage does it.

None of the comments I read under the article were having any of his nonsense.

Tom and his husband bought their baby in the US. They want to make it easier to do so in the UK as well.

Fairly certain 'buying' babies is against the law...certainly in the UK

I knew there must be a reason why I always get an urge to do something that he wouldn’t like with those fucking knitting needles.
He really is an irritating little fucker.

This is the crux of it.
