Just that. Males who claim to be women or girls can now play against girls and women on the pitch. Women and girls already get a much smaller share of state funding towards female sports. And, now this bullsht. No details of how they plucked this out of their collective ases arrived at this policy. Having female only sport meant that women and girls were included in sport.

The GAA support the Irish language, but surely any other language can now 'identify' as Irish. The Irish flag must be flown, but again surely they should be 'inclusive' and let any other flag identify as the Irish flag.

We unfortunately have a Taoiseach (PM) who supports this destruction of female sports. When the IRFU stated they would prioritise safety and fairness for women, he asked them to reconsider those aims, and talk to the men who wanted to play in women's sports. In short, just walk all over women in Ireland.

The red herring testosterone level is there, as if it turned men into women.
I confirm that [insert name of Applicant] has:
Transitioned/or is transitioning (as appropriate) from male to female and intends on living their life as a female, and
During the previous 12 months, has a total testosterone level in serum equal to or less than 10 nanomoles per litre (nmol/L).

This is bullish*t. Probably 20 times than most women. 10nmol/L is in the normal range for men. There are probably males on the Irish rugby team with that level. Irrespective; strange times if they're pretending that this level, or any level or lack of testosterone made a female out of a male.

Are any of you on Glinners mailing list? Last day tomorrow at 12 noon to write a submission to the commission about a change in legislation (sex to gender) ffs

Is it a referendum? Great news if it is, a tragic mistake for the genders, because no debate just kicked itself in the massive arse.

Could an xx chromosome woman identify as a trans woman and be allowed to compete with the same level of testosterone?

Good question. Does this mean the East German girls who broke so many records in the 70s and 80s are really guilty of nothing ?

This is my feeling too. The literal opposite of No Debate. It becomes, legally mandated to discuss each side of the debate with equal time given to each side. And then, best of all, we get to go into a secret ballot box and quietly write down how we feel. No judgement, no lost friends, no lost jobs, no being cancelled for speaking up. Just every adult in the country quietly writing down what we think after weeks of genuine, legally mandated debate.

I really hope I'm not insanely naive but I think it's a massive own goal for the TRAs.
