More or Less Radio 4 Trans Women in Sport

[TheAbbotOfUnreason]

On Radio 4, just starting now, looking at stats and data on testosterone.

Thanks CaveMum

Interesting sort of sexist paternalism going on there. In my experience female riders can be extremely competitive and tough but I can see that for a jockey starting out it may be a problem to persuade owners to give the rides.

Suddenly everyone knows who the women are. 🤷‍♀️

@TeenPlusCat

It's interesting they didn't put anyone on from 'the other side'. But I think that's how the programme usually works, ie get an expert to explain the stats.

Absolutely. That's the beauty of More or Less. They don't 'take sides' they present accurate statistics.

It would be good if in a while they could look into the stats of transwomen in prison & sex offending in particular. I'd like to see some neutral analysis of this.

That would be helpful.

Just because I mentioned her upthread, and I did mention all the cute foal pics in my Twitter timeline, here is the aforementioned Enable with her first foal, a colt, born this afternoon.

Wonder how they knew it was a boy

They covered the nanomolecules/nanomoles mix up on the programme this morning. Apparently it is corrected in the on demand version.

That's good. The problem with someone making a basic error like that is that people listening might conclude that she didn't know what she was talking about, which makes it easier for them to dismiss everything else she said.

@CaveMum, what a lovely photo!
