British Triathlon band transwomen from womens triathlon

[CatsOperatingInGangs]

I’ve just seen in the Telegraph that British Triathlon is going to ban males from female sport.
I can’t access the article so if anyone has more details please post them.
This just shows that NGB can show some leadership.

Triathlon is set to ban transgender women competing in elite female competitions even if they have not gone through male puberty.
^^
British Triathlon will on Wednesday plan to become the first national governing body (NGB) to publish a proposed new trans policy following the toxic row to gulf sport over swimmer Lia Thomas and cyclist Emily Bridge.

" The Telegraph has been told British Triathlon plans to ban anyone born male from elite female categories amid concerns allowing puberty to be the cut-off could put pressure on children to transition. "

Archived in the usual places.

"The Telegraph has been told British Triathlon plans to ban anyone born male from elite female categories amid concerns allowing puberty to be the cut-off could put pressure on children to transition."

"It also plans to create an open category in which trans women can compete."

"To that end, it is expected to announce its new policy will be phased in during the coming years to give it time to create such a category."

Seems very sensible until you read phased in over several years. Surely males should be banned from women's categories immediately?

Ah.

So we trash women's sport and the experience of female athletes until there's something nice for male athletes to have instead?

Fgs why are we pretending there's any belief at all that people born male are anything but a different, much more special and entitled group? Fuck off. Females are not born to make life nicer for males.

It will be interesting to see the reasoning behind their decision. If the decision is that men have a physical advantage - which they do - then surely the answer is to let TW compete in the mens until a open category is set up

Not sure Nadine Dorries will be that keen in letting men carry on competing on a “takes years to change “ basis

Moving in the right direction though

Why the fuck do they need a phased change? They already have another category for male people to compete in.
