Peter Tatchel weighs into the transwomen in sports issue an

[Badmoonsarising]

I’m so disappointed and have lost sllvrespect for him. Seems he can’t see why transwomen are being picked out for having naturel physical advantages when athletes have natural physicsl advantages over your average joe public anyway. Interesting debate on the recent Rachel McKinnon story. m.youtube.com/watch?v=jZuv9U8Qbi8

He can see very well the advantages. He just doesn’t care.
I could surgically implant a jetpack up my backside and beat Usain Bolt - wouldn’t make it a fair race.

He was an outspoken defender of the PIE back in the day. He is no friend to women.

Technically he's a friend to women who used to be men.

He either knows diddly squat about human physiology, or he’s supporting transgender men at the expense of women, and is happy to destroy women’s sport forever.
I know which one my money’s on.

He's always been a dickhead. An interring dickhead sometimes, but always a dickhead.

interesting

Fuck off, Peter, and take your allies with you.

He comes across as incredibly self-centred.

He's always only cared about men. This isn't surprising.

He's always been a dick.

Tatchell is a misogynistic gay man. No surprise there.

Ridiculous. Makes me angry.

Yep - well past his time.Fuck off Peter-leave this to the women, we know what we're talking about. Gobshite.

Just out of interest what is the PIE? I googled but couldn't find. I saw him talking at the People's vote march for the first time (never really thought about him before) and he didn't have anything interesting to say.

I know he supirts trans folk over women’s concerns in this debate but his point here is just so ridiculous, it’s actually embarrassing. “Ok, so transwomen are often stronger, bigger, faster than as males than your average woman - but, but - top female athletes are faster and stronger than your average woman too - so what’s the objection?”

"Mum of twins and another" PIE was a movement to legalise pedophilia in the UK.

PIE = paedophile information exchange.
As grim as it sounds. Active in the 70s / early 80s, agitators for the age of consent to be lowered and paedophilia to bracelets as just another orientation. Not inherently harmful, dear me no. Attached themselves into the coattails of the gay rights movement. In the 70's one awakened rather than someone was woke, so they got some traction.

Fuck off Tatchell, you penis rights activist.

There is is a poster who makes the same point (at length) on aibu whenever this comes up. I have such a hard time getting where they come from.

Compete as your own sex, for goodness sake! If your medically induced hormone differential means you're not as good as you were, well you are proving the fucking point. Except you already have the benefit of the hormone stuff when it really mattered!

Seriously, how can these people sleep at night?

PIE Harriet Harmon used to support them.
I don't recall her apologising about it.

Twat. I could, given the inclination and 25 years off my age, join DH in training up for an athletics competition. At the end of it, he'd still have longer, denser bones, bigger muscles and greater lung capacity, not to mention still being a foot taller than me and unencumbered by disproportionately large breasts. People fucking well see this, and aren't convinced by these dickhead arguments from the likes of Tatchell. It massively undermines their credibility in the public perception.

I never had any respect for him due to his paedophile sympathies.

He is now, and always has been a misogynist. He can fuck right off with his shit. A women with a penis is a man. Women are born, not made. He has some very 'odd' views about a number of things, but at heart he is self-publicist looking for a cause.
