I do wish that these headlines stopped saying 'transgender competitors BANNED from sports' as that is so misleading.

Anyway, I thought this was promising, shame it has to wait until the end of the year, though. Will there be a rush of male to feminine TWs to compete while they still can, I wonder?

I hope Lia Thomas's record breaking time is retrospectively removed from the books as it (the time) should never have been entered as a valid one in the first place!

Good. And about time too

I agree that the records 'broken' by male competitors in the women's field have to be removed, or reclassified. They are not something a female athlete can fairly hope to achieve.
