From the BBC article above...

""I was nowhere near the biggest hitter in the team, nor the fastest bowler in the team." - sadface quote from a transwoman cricketer.

SO FUCKING WHAT?? I'm confident that my DS would be nowhere near the biggest hitter or fastest bowler on a women's cricket team, because he's shit at cricket. That doesn't change the fact that he is (a 6ft, heavily built) male who would have absolutely no right to be playing in the first place.

Doesn't matter. If a male was on the team, a female missed out on a place. If a male was there, women players were put in greater danger and discomfort. If any women weren't happy about the obvious unfairness and untruth, they knew they would be treated as pariahs and were required to shut up and deny reality to make the TW happy.

None of that is OK.

So that's Football, Netball and Cricket all making announcements today? Has this been coordinated somehow?

Edited

It is odd. Do you think they combined on legal advice?

Those blokes are so selfish. They can fuck off and play in the 4ths or 5ths at their local club.

just because he might be crap doesn’t mean he should be playing in the women’s team.

Rumour has it that it's the insurance companies forcing the changes so that the sports bodies comply with the law.
