I don't know anything about DW sorry but the DM seems to be of of the only media prepared to tackle controversial issues

Maybe you need to put this on the feminism board.

I think you meant to say that the DM are the most bigoted paper so will want to froth at the mouth over this.

What do you mean so what?? It's the WOMEN'S World Cup!

We should all be frothing at the mouth over this. On what planet is it perfectly fine for biological males to be competing in the women's World Cup? Please explain why it's ok.

Males have a biological advantage over females when it comes to sport. That's what.

You’re kidding, right?

@Spirallingdownwards
So objecting to males playing in women's sport is bigoted...ok

I don't follow the Feminism board, so I don't know what you on about. Also won't be following the world cup either.

Although, this is probably the one issue that the DM and MN broadly agree on.

The DM may hate women, and certainly doesn't believe in feminism, but even it can see that allowing men to compete alongside and against women in contact sports is a step too far.

Flickersy · 20/07/2023 10:02

A) The Daily Mail have already published something on this, you just haven't been paying attention.

B) I don't think it's been confirmed anywhere that Barbra Banda is male - if you have a reliable source for this I'd be interested to see it because I can't find an awful lot about it.

PinkyU · 20/07/2023 10:10

I’d be interested to know what your sources are @pues can you cite reliable and unbiased sources?

If you think that’s related to anything other than some so-called “anti-woke” stance, you’re fooling yourself.

Does it really not bother you IF men are playing in the women's world Cup? Which obviously, if true, isn't a woman's world Cup at all?

That's the point - "if" is the pertinent word.

I have seen nothing to confirm that Banda is actually male.

If anyone has any reliable sources I'd like to see them. But until we know the facts of the matter, I won't be getting my pitchfork out.

Nor me.

eandz13 · 20/07/2023 10:35

I'd never heard of the player, was ready to get my own pitchfork out but I googled and watched a few videos and I think she actually is a she. She sounds feminine and she doesn't have any significant laryngeal prominence. She looks like a bloke on still images though!
