Women and girls are getting their sports back. All of them. Not just elite athletes - the lot.

The Olympic medallist argues that sporting bodies have thrown amateurs ‘under the bus’ by allowing transgender athletes to compete in women’s events

Sharron Davies intends to take on “absolute direct sex discrimination” in women’s sport
The former Olympic swimmer Sharron Davies is set to launch a women’s sports union next month that will sue governing bodies that discriminate against female athletes.
She said she was willing to be litigious with sports organisations that failed to protect female recreational sports by allowing trans women to compete.

When it was specified it would be elite sports it did make me wonder why it wasn't just all sport. Arguably if a female was badly injured, or lost out to a male in pleb sport it would prevent her from progressing or continuing in something she enjoyed. Just because she isn't being paid for it why does that make it less of an impact.

Its saying at grass roots that girls must be rank lower than boys who dont want to be fair.

That boys can cheat in girls sports when cheating would not be allowed in the same events for boys

Bloody brilliant!

That’s great of her.

The maddening thing is she shouldn’t have to be putting her time and energy into this, hopefully one case against one governing body should lit an end to this nonsense.

I hope she takes on the PDC. Even the amateur darts - WDF don't let males play in the women's events.

As usual, it's not "trans athletes" as they've printed but "male athletes".
