Yes, true, and I’m heartened by the amount of quite even-handed attention they’ve devoted to it. Unlike some other places we could mention.

Does he realise that by taking part in the women's race it just underlines the fact he couldn't beat other men. Makes him look like an absolute fuckwit.

The only requirement is a legal thing? Nothing else? At all?

There are no biologically female 'male trans' athlete's winning all the medals, prize money and trophies in men's events whenever they compete, or maybe they don't compete in men's events, because they know it would be unsafe and pointless?

The Paralympics committee really need to sort this out. Fairness for women must trump inclusion.

Yes, I heard that. She did a poor interview with Petrilla, but then maybe she was thinking about the effect on her career...

Maybe 'tucking' would slow the athlete down.
