Hey there BBC we want a word!

They named a man, Barbra Banda, who is an XY male with a disorder of sexual development (DSD) as their

'Women's footballer of the year'

This is an insult to all women in sport.

A group of local women are protesting at BBC Scotland (Pacific Quay, Glasgow) on Tuesday 17th December at 5pm.

All welcome to join the protest.

She was born female and raised as a woman, this is the result of a controversial test which had different hormonal levels than most woman.

She does not a penis and a precious life where she was known as Gary basically.

Save your protest for something worthwhile.

Protecting women's sports is worthwhile. Not only is this cheating, male players pose risk of injury to female players.

He is a man with a disorder. Not a woman.

this is the result of a controversial test

It would be so easy to put this debate to bed if Banda (if indeed female) would do a sex test, a cheek swab would be all it takes and yet Banda doesn't want to do it. Why not?
LMU Munich btw, my first biology degree.

Agreed. Very straight forward to test, which would establish if male advantage is limiting women's opportunities in sport and putting females at risk in this specific case.

Biology degree was obtained at Edinburgh University for info.

Banda has testosterone levels that can only be produced by testes. Banda is biologically male.
