'I've been disowned and shamed for saying women footballers must be boen with ovaries' Oliver Brown in The Telegraph

Hey, you can't keep a good man down, etc.

McKinnon has been boasting about hitting his drives 280 yards, which would put him as one of the longest hitters on the women's professional tour. Strange isn't it, that these transwomen lose their strength when they put a skirt on, but 44 year old McKinnon is hitting the golf ball the same distance as a 44 year old man. I wonder why that is?

I had read that McKinnon / Ivy is now in golf.

This is another of those advantages that people miss in the discussion. How many female athletes, who have certainly not maintained elite levels of fitness will reach elite levels of two sports in their lifetime?

There are women who have maintained their peak fitness and have changed sport. Or competed at levels in winter sports and summer sports.

But McKinnon / Ivy has not maintained peak fitness, yet can do this? Including having an elbow injury if I remember correctly. That would be an absolutely extraordinary female athlete to do that. Or one with male advantage.

There were a few TIMs that changed their surnames to womans names when GC people started calling them by their surnames rather than use their "female" first names.

So, a different name for every sport? That's novel.

Well, when doors are opened wide for you, it would be stupid not to walk thru them.
"This way please, ma'am".

Funny you should ask that, it would seem that Veronica Ivy (formerly Rachel McKinnon) is now winning women's golf competitions.

Would be curious to see where they are all now, Petrillo, Valentino, Hubbard, Khelif, Fox, McKinnon, Bridges, Thomas, that Canadian ambulance chasing harasser of Asian beauty therapists, that Z cup schoolteacher, and the trasher of Bud Light.
I'm sure I've missed dozens more.
What an ignominious bunch.

Also worth noting he was considerably older than many of the other athletes, yet beat a lot of them. Now why might that be.....

I watched him, and was delighted when he didn't actually win.

You forgot oppressed, discriminated against, stunning and brave, but yes, it'd look a lot like that.

Being trans is just who Giulia is. Giulia's mum says Giulia is special. Hateful Terfs on Mumsnet saying Giulia can't play are committing actual violence against schoolchildren. Just. Leave. Trans. Alone.

It's a nice evening, so I thought I'd save TPA the time.

I would say a man who can't see he's not a woman is blind in so many ways.

They rejig para classifications all the time, and people lose out, or combine them for races, and ditto. E.g Alfie Hewitt nearly lost out to a rejig of para tennis classifications.

Yet this blindingly obvious (yes, pun intended) bloke is included.

Almost as though there's a hierarchy of oppression that we never quite manage to get listed on, isn't it..?

Indeed. "None are so blind as those who will not see".
Of course the TIMs see very clearly indeed. It's just the authorities who are wilfully blinkered.

I found it interesting (read disgusting for that) that they were stringent re the sight tests for classification and not the fact that he is a great hulking MAN.

Sorry, xpost @murasaki . That's much more useful..!

Can't link, but was called Valentina Petrillo, I think?

Do you mean this unit?

While we're on a roll, anyone can link to that Italian TIM runner? I believe he had the audacity to rub female runners' noses in it, and then the Paralympics.

It doesn't does it. I'd like to hear TPA et al justify that.

That pic never gets old.

The transgender player Giulia Valentino, photographed in a women's Gaelic football match in 2022 - Giulia's the one on the right, BTW - said in press interviews:
'I’d like to be remembered for leaving a legacy of inclusion for other trans players.”
Trans Gaelic footballer Giulia Valentino: ‘I’d like to leave a legacy of inclusion’ – The Irish Times
Well, always happy to oblige, Giulia! I post this photo in discussions about transwomen in women's sports, making sure that your legacy of inclusion is not forgotten...

a footnote about this photo :The Guardian stopped publishing it, I wonder why?
For opponents of such inclusion, the photograph of Valentino closing in on an opponent appeared to tell its own story: a bigger, stronger athlete with an unfair physical advantage from having undergone male puberty.
The Guardian [where this article was originally published] agreed not to publish this or any photograph that identified Valentino, who has been harassed.
-[from the same Irish Times article ]

Ah but you have to remember that being trans inclusive doesn't mean including trans identifying females in female single sex sports, etc. Trans inclusive only means including trans identifying males in every female single sex concern, I am sure you are suprised by that (not). As ever,it is ALL about the men at the expense of women.

CURRENT COUNT (2026) MALE ATHLETES TAKE 2293 GOLD MEDALS IN FEMALE SPORTS CATEGORIES IN THE USA

Concerned Women Research Finds Increase in Trans-Identifying Men Winning Gold Medals

22nd September 2026

Concerned Women for America Legislative Action Committee (CWALAC) found that trans-identifying males have stolen over 2,293 gold medals from women and girls in the United States and is calling on Congress to protect biological women and girls from this injustice.

It goes on…

”With data compiled from HeCheated on recorded incidents of natal males’ disruption in female events since the mid-1980s, CWALAC research found that:

Trans-identifying males have stolen over 2,293 gold medals from women and girls in the United States, pushing each rightful champion down to second place.

Trans-identifying male athletes have stolen over $501,498 in prize money from women in professional sports.
In California alone, over 611 women and girls have taken silver below a male allowed to compete in the women’s category.

Trans-identifying males have competed in more than 14,301 female sport events, amateur and professional. “

But apparently, nothing to see here. Feminists should be looking at other issues because there is very little impact and it is ‘just a few’ male people in female single sex sports.
