From The Quadrant - Guidelines for the Destruction of Female Sport

As we know it, women’s sport is a recent phenomenon. It was only in 1900 that a few women participated in the Olympic Games[3]. In the 1928 Games, their number had increased to 2.2 per cent of participants and, by 2016, to 45 per cent. This emancipation from male-dominated culture has been rightly welcomed and it is hard to comprehend that society could, one way or another, submit to the return of male domination, if not by boys and men in trousers, by natal males in leotards.

For the yahoos in the nosebleed seats who might wish to start banging on about the far-right, I will add: The Quadrant is a conservative journal, but one marked by a considerable history supportimg free speech and respect for intellectual freedom: not rabid right-wing bigotry.

I haven't had time to watch it, but there was a link to a TES talk on the 'exercise' board saying 'women are not small men' seemed to be about how male and female athletes are in fact, different.

@littlbrowndog hope it reassures you that literally all the winning athletes were biologically female from birth x
