Sorry to jusy copy my post from the other thread - but It is just such infuriating madness and I don't get it. There may be some wiggle in other areas of this debate but it is pure madness when it comes to women's sports.
These reports that advantage is decreased by female hormones, it is such rubbish and anyone with eyes can see its not true, but frankly I don't CARE!! female bodies are not just male bodies with lower testosterone, they are different in every way and we have sports for that reason.
Megan rapinho would not be captain of her world Cup beating side if a transwoman comes along, does she know that? What does she think happens to a man's body when they identify as female?
Makes me angry, this does, because more than any other part of this debate its an insult to what our bodies have to go through and what physical sacrifices women make.
The interviews were both superb because Martina came across as such an expert but also so respectful - I did notice she seemed exasperated at times, though. Like, do I really have to explain this?!
I really hate that argument as well - it's just a few athletes, there aren't enough to make a difference..... Well, NOW the law is in place, there will be more, can they really not understand that!?
I really think that it will take an Olympics, maybe the next one or the next one after that, without a single woman on any of the podiums before anyone goes..... Erm.... Oh....
Or a serious injury of a woman / girl on the rugby pitch or boxing ring.
