Transgender women in pool final

[ballettap]

I realise I'm probably late to the party with this, but...what?? How is this allowed to happen? I thought everyone had realised that born males shouldn't compete in women's sports?!

And they wonder why women are protesting about males in female sport's categories.
This is an outrage, a final in a women's competition being played by men, every single women pool player has just had their sport stolen from them, every single women's sporting competition is about to go the same why.
How many other 'women's champions, will there be who are not actually women but men.
It's not just madness it's sponsored misogyny.

It's even made it on to an American Sports channel on Youtube.

They're blown away by women being eliminated from they're own sport.

Excellent work in highlighting this by Lynne Pinches, WRN Manchester and 12 of 5.

Ultimate Pool has been forced to issue a statement.

it’s an absolutely rubbish statement full of clearly false claims - they “love women’s pool” (which they are destroying) & have increased the prize money (so the cheating blokes get rewarded even more).

It’s already community noted and royally ratioed on the app formerly known as Twit.
