“Billie” is wrong.

Billie isn't happy with the BBC article as he doesn't think it is impartial: I’m Billie from the article about the FA football ban on trans women : r/transgenderUK

Billie thinks that most 'cis' women support tw playing in women's football, so the BBC should also have interviewed a cis woman to give this view, not just a 'cis' woman who doesn't support it.

Billie also suggests that the female footballer chose to stay anonymous because her opinion isn't popular, even though the stated reason was fear of reprisals, which we know to be the case because of how Cerys Vaughan was treated.

Honestly, it just shows how utterly futile it is to try to get these men to see things from women's perspective. They surround themselves with people who unquestionably affirm them, and from this position they discount other women's concerns. They are so selfish and self-centred.

Ahhh. Billy. We know what rhymes with Billy. And it is apt.

Meanwhile, Helen Webberly has an interesting poll.

I wonder if she expected this result. 4000 votes so far and 96% support sex segregation for sport.

I've added my vote but it felt even more satisfying to vote on ex-Dr W's own website where admittedly the number of votes cast is lower at 268 but still a gratifying 85% are in favour of sport segregated by biological sex.

Trans People, Sport, and the Problem No One Wants to Solve

When 16-year-old trans girl Hernandez took to the field in California, the familiar debate reignited - but are we asking the right questions?

Woah! It looks to have gone up around 900 votes in just under and hour. And the % for sex segregation hasn’t changed.

Definitely not going the way she would have wanted!

Over 7000 votes and 97% sex segregation!

They’ll talk about hypotheticals, imagined situations where a very tall, very strong person assigned male at birth transitions and dominates women’s sport

says Helen. Seemingly ignoring the fact that men are stronger than women, full stop. And MN is full of posts from women saying, my 12 year son could throw me around the room if he wanted to. Still, grifters gotta grift.

It is a much believed fallacy that male people 'lose their male advantage' though.

Sex Matters is doing a three part series on why female sport need protection. This is well timed.

The poll on Dr W's website says it's closed due to limits exceeded!

Voted on the X one though.

Well Billie would think that. I expect that whatever they think in private, the women Billie knows are too kind to say "No, you're wrong, you're a man and you shouldn't be on a women's team," to his face.

She’s a walking face palm emoji.
