Nick Robinson in an interview with Navratilova on Today Radio 4 today:
"Your argument is that there is something called biological sex".

On Twitter the comments were scary but the many replies to the comments were heartening.

This is Biden's Education Secretary being grilled on the issue twitter.com/cspan/status/1357003971576147973?s=20

The senator was unflappable in his questioning in the face of the total non - answers. the person in charge of education didn't feel at all comfortable, nor free to express his view. simply kept repeating the party line. How can people live with themselves when they say something that they don't truly believe in.

He also kept mentioning the rights of all pupils, but somehow managed not to consider that the girls had rights too.

Yes - interesting omission - plus of course no one is saying children who identify as transgender shouldn’t play sports - as he was hiding behind - but just that they should play in the sport of their sex.

As Martina N said - this should be based on facts not feelings or emotions - because facts don’t sit well with this ideology and the feelings and emotions of girls don’t get a look in.

Little worried about how my username is going to be perceived now…

How can anyone not like trains? I am shocked! Not sure they should be included in sports competitions though, neither men's nor women's.

I want to be a train.

I train every day.

Unfortunately this is what happens when a formerly mediocre runner switches to the female category. Second video clip embedded in tweet timeline
