TW in sport - Help wanted

Morning All, name changed here, (not that I am big poster). I need some help in finding some information on TW in sport. My housemate is male, early 50's, he knows I don't believe that TWAW and that people can't change sex, and to be fair, I don't think he does either, but I find it really hard to explain it all to him. I have mentioned most of my concerns, but he seems to always bring up sport and it has generally come up after a few drinks - what I find is, he get a bit shouty and asks me to tell him the exact numbers, figures, evidence, which I then struggle to do. Personally I feel if one TW takes a medal off a women then its not fair, but he seems to be implying that if it not happening a lot, then why am I going on about it. He also works for a news desk and says it never comes up there. when we did get heated about this topic a month or so ago, he basically implied that women wanted equality, so we should just suck it up. Anyway, can someone direct me to clear links on TW in sport, I know I have seen stuff online, but can't seem to locate it now. Also was it british cycling that have now changed their policy to included anyone that says they are a women, will levels of testosterone come in to it? Thanks for your help.

Wrong thread? Or an interesting plot twist?

What I came on to say before laughing at a wrong post was in response to this in your OP

he basically implied that women wanted equality, so we should just suck it up

He's wrong. Feminism doesn't aim for equality. It's about liberation.

The whole point of female only XYZ is so we can participate fairly in life and freely.

Feminism isn't about women having the exact same thing as men (and all other people with a penis). It's about having our own specific things.

[quote Zinco]Veronica Ivy was on CNN recently:

[/quote] I cannot believe that amount of bullshit was given any airtime.

That person with a penis must hate women so much to be able to say such things.
