Neither Miller nor Yearwood have got times that would be remotely remarkable for boys (200th and 443rd respectively) but they are smashing the girls' records out of the park as now they identify as girls, they're allowed to race them instead.

Watch the face of the girl who comes third. That's pretty much her best ever 100m race. But she didn't win.

Self identification means this kind of thing will keep on happening. If you value women's sport and think that women and girls deserve to compete on a level playing field, please sign the petition: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/214118

Oh dear, you’ve confused sex and gender. Common mistake but with devastating consequences for XX (formerly known as women, now just as cunts)

If this is to me, I haven’t confused anything. Whether the label is confusing is a different matter but the other poster asked what it was and I provided the link.

And if it was for me, I also know the difference (I'm a FWR regular), but the procedure is usually called gender testing so that's the label I used (in inverted commas)

I'm a bit late to this thread but find it shocking that there seem to be more and more issues like this - particularly in the US and when linked to scholarships to college.
