To repeat what Ross Tucker said on his podcast, if you’re the person saying inclusion and safety/fairness CAN be balanced, then tell us how! What did everyone miss in this extensive review? Don’t just say it can be done, tell us HOW it can be done.

This may have been mentioned before, but I've just seen this
"Female entries would be required to declare themselves as recorded female at birth"
Doesn't that mean that a TW with a GRC would still be allowed to compete in the woman's category , since (somebody corrects me if I'm wrong?) a GRC allows you to change the marker on your birth certificate?

Lord Farmer example of MOD using Stonewall verbatim.

There’s some cracking questions from the Lords. Nice to have more sunshine on this topic.

Minister engaging in a bit of shuffling responsibility for it all onto individual sports.

Good to see the NGB of my own sport has finally acknowledged the existence of this report.
Doesn't say what it's going to do about it.
The current situation is that except at national representation level (where the IOC testosterone requirements prevail) any transgender person can self ID into whichever category they prefer.
