This is an excellent piece mentioning the DoJ decision and looking in detail at the unfair advantage men have in sport. Quotes the fabulous @fondofbeetles

That's great news, thanks for sharing op!

CircleofWillis · 29/03/2020 12:16

Fantastic news!

Winesalot · 29/03/2020 12:20

It is great.

Here’s the NBC article earlier in the week.

Great news.

The constant carefully spun refrain of 'attacking trans athletes' is ridiculous - it's about trans athletes attacking biological females for daring to resist males taking everything away from them, and thereby thwarting those males' personal choices and happiness. The 'attack' on trans athletes is merely someone saying 'hang on, female people have the same rights as male ones'.

Misogyny on crack.

Brilliant article and fantastic news about the court ruling.

MangoSplit · 29/03/2020 12:38

This is really good news.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 29/03/2020 12:38

Sorry, not court ruling, DoJ statement

ScrimpshawTheSecond · 29/03/2020 12:40

Brilliant news.

Winesalot · 29/03/2020 12:55

And every article published is another sunbeam!! If this does gain enough momentum in the USA, and enough states implements changes that protect biological sex, surely it will put pressure on the rest of the world.

ScrimpshawTheSecond · 29/03/2020 12:57

As many have said before - the TRA arguments have been ignored when relating to women in prison, refuges and healthcare. It's sport where the physical differences have shown up so utterly clearly that liberalisation dawns.

ScrimpshawTheSecond · 29/03/2020 12:58
  • realisation, autocock, ffs. Not liberalisation.
TalkingtoLangClegintheDark · 29/03/2020 18:03

This is fantastic and very welcome news!

These boys can be gracious when a girl manages to beat them because they know its a rare occurrence. If they went up against a stronger and faster self-id'ed boy, I imagine their inherent narcissism would shine through and they'd throw a temper tantrum and accuse their competitor of not being a "real transwoman" or something.
