US women’s sports star Sophie Cunningham speaking up on defending women's sports

Isn’t it interesting that there are people who immediately try to distract from the issue which is anyone person who is considered male under the current IOC sex screening tests by limiting the discussion to male people with transgender identities.

No male person who has a body formed around the production of small gametes where that body has ever had the ability to produce testosterone at male levels and the ability to process that testosterone to virilise along a male pathway should be included in female sports categories. This is the OIC policy now and the policy of a growing number of sporting regulators.

The narrowing of the discussion seems to be a rather obvious distraction technique and distortion of the discussion.

And a sex screening test within a policy that specifically excludes male athletes who have male pubertal advantages along with current anti-doping tests and policies will fully support the prevention of female athletes being wrongly accused of being male.

The female tennis players have been asked the question over this week about sex screening and are in support.

It is remarkable to see basketball and football in the USA is still not setting policy to follow the same policy as the OIC.

Gosh… imagine a sport with protected categories based on personality traits and behaviours!

BlueSky and Wikipedia are always reliable and sound sources to link to when verification is needed for reality denying opinions.

Basketball player Enes Kanter Freedom, who is 6ft 10in, has announced he's applying to join the WNBA.

"After careful consideration and reviewing the current eligibility guidelines, I'm officially declaring myself a WNBA prospect. If simply declaring who you are is all that's required, then I meet every single requirement necessary to compete in the WNBA,"

"My team and I have carefully examined the WNBA's eligibility criteria and governing framework surrounding self-identification and inclusion. Based on the current guidelines, I can and am officially declaring my eligibility for the upcoming WNBA draft in April 2027," he said.

Good work that man!

They're just gonna go around and around in circles until they get permanent vertigo.
TRAs forcing the consensus that men can play in women's sports is the literal rubicon moment for the schism.
Sport depends on absolute adherence to rules, and absolute agreement on reality.
Winning and losing depends on mere microseconds, the slightest advantage or disadvantage.
Male advantage, starting at male puberty, is all that matters here, GCs like us know it, TRAs know it, and the sports authorities and their doctors/physiologists know it.
That's why TRAs are so desperate to crack women's sport, because of a couple of things.
First, it absolutely shatters women's confidence and self worth. Sport is an area women can contend and rise to the top without male entitlement in the way.
Warp the women's category, and women's rights effectively collapse.
Secondly, the TRAs winning this battle effectively win the prize of language and ideas.
Change things so that males can play in women's sports, and effectively nothing means what it means anymore.
Language, science, societal norms and development are all crushed.
Society allows men in women's sports, then everything is up for grabs.

I'm really enjoying this turn of events. If the WNBA decides a woman is anyone who says they are, they'll have to let these men join the practices. I won't be surprised if they try to waffle their way out of this. Which will not please the gender people. I'm sure there will be more men joining in.

I know men who shrug their shoulders at men in women's toilets, a bit more agitated with men in women's changing rooms, don't sit well with men in women's refuges, start to get animated with men in women's prisons.
But men in women's sports? NO WAY, JOSÉ!

This was the headline on Sports Illustrated (they've changed it now) 😐

Apparently, that particularly vicious foul was just karma for SC for saying men shouldn't play in women's basketball

Look at the 6'10" male ex-pro attempting to sign up with the WBNA.
Would he have said anything if he was a current player and had sponsorship deals and personal ratings to lose?
Especially back in the dark days of cancel culture, 2018-2023.
Even now, where are the males in pro sport speaking out? I'm not seeing any of them take a stand.
All that men can provide, retired players, most notably Daley Thompson in the last few years.

They might come up with some nonsense policy where they say that any "woman" who has been taking hormones for two years will be eligible. That will rule out the two former NBA players. Didn't some sporting bodies in the UK have policies like that before finally tightening them up? The US has a long way to go.

Was there much fallout over Khelif at the Olympics?
I seem to recall the majority of "journalists" (more and more received opinion/regime narrative propagandists) either kept their heads down or were generally purveying the "Be Kind dont bully the special and vulnerable Khelif"...they didn't even question the validity of DSD males as sports"women".
Only the Guardian's Sean Ingle and Telegraph's Oliver Brown got the facts and tone right.
I recall the Olympics ending and somehow Khelif getting Gold as mainstream accepted, and feeling very peaked that a new (ab)normal was ascendant.
