i.stuff.co.nz/sport/women-in-sport/300341029/the-biggest-threat-to-womens-sport-is-not-the-inclusion-of-transgender-athletes?

I agree with the article in terms of the challenges women's sport faces because of sexism and hypocrisy of some commentators and politicians (in selectively supporting women's rights) but I'm not sure the article sets up a strong case for its conclusion about transgender women in women's sport

Can see the "mote" whilst trying desperately to ignore the " beam'"

Sigh.

It must get boring travelling down the same ‘you are all aligned with the baddies, those who voted the wrong way, whatever’ path.

If you cannot answer the questions, if you cannot provide thought provoking responses to the issues, if you cannot discuss evidence that supports your case…. Just refer to the wrong thinking people that agree on one issue with those you which to discredit.

It is bloody boring.

On the other hand, yes all the other issues are also well worth discussing.

Isn’t it awesome how women can discuss and work on multiple issues at once!!

It may or not be the biggest threat to women in sport

but it is definitely wrong even if it cheats just one woman

All I got was

Why are you bothering with this? What about all that over there! You're doing feminism wrong!

And

Look! These people don't think it's right either! And they're horrible. People might think you're horrible too! Oh no!

As if we haven't heard it all a million times.

Ok so we drop this and focus on all the other stuff (which obviously we never knew before Hmm)

And oh look! You're focusing on sport while women are dying! What about abortion? What's wrong with you?!!

Etc etc
