I've only just seen this and am quite surprised considering the very recent publication of the BR's Trans and Non-Binary Inclusion Competition Policy and Procedures and their Trans and Non-Binary Inclusion Guidance for Clubs and Members. There was an earlier thread about the Competition Policy, which is all about testosterone levels but the Guidance for Clubs and Members has very much gone down the route of 'trans preferences override everyone elses'.

Lets hope that BR can push World Rowing to change their policy.

Well done Mark Davies!

Given British Rowing's dire new policy this is a small positive step.

Thank goodness someone is speaking sense!

I like the research from soa Paolo that even the pro tra professor couldn't dismiss though tried to claim that you could replicate with squat thrusts etc 🤣 "and build from there"
Also I wonder how this study of 14 long term hormone suppressed transwomen will compare to the 1that is being run down south by a tra with 1 single transwomen athlete (not naming names to avoid deletion) who has already claimed that it proves that transwomen post hormonal transition are the same (performance wise) as women before the research has been completed 🤔
