These men wanting to compete in women's sports are doing it for two reasons. Firstly to win and secondly to have validation of their self perception that they're not men.
You're not getting first class male athletes suddenly transitioning, forgoing all the kudos and money involved in male sport to switch to competing as women.
Whilst they can still win big in the men's, they will.
Women's sport is not a consolation prize. Nor is it a means for men to make more money, or validate themselves.
i'm sure you don't mean to come across like this thepressoutside, because, no doubt, you're just trying to be kind, but it is remarkable how many people want to shoehorn men into women's sport, and will scrabble around for different ways of doing it, just because the men want it.
Can we do it this way, what about that way, what if we hobble them with these drugs, what if we disadvantage them with this means.
Quite apart from the fact that there is no way to disadvantage men sufficiently, women's sport isn't a bloody service for men to utilise because, for whatever reason, they can't shine in their own category.
Women want to watch women win. Women who have worked their bloody anrses off to get where they are, at the peak of their fitness, not taken drugs to reduce their advantage!
It's an utter mockery of what sport is for.
And it stays relative right down to grassroots level.
This attempt by Lia Thomas is the last howling rage of a thwarted man.
What's depressing is how many people just can't bear the thought of a man being thwarted, they want to fix it.
And they simply expect women to be the means.
