Looked up this article today after hearing some leftard professor on Good Morning Britain saying that is was perfectly acceptable for Transgender women (born as men) to compete with born women athletes.

How on Earth can that be even considered remotely fair. IMO common sense has been replaced with PC'ism

I get it that for a very small minority of people they feel like they have been born into the wrong sex so much that they want to take practical steps over it.

It isn't something I want to think about over my cornflakes but hey, it's a free country.....well it once was anyway.

However, when it comes to competitive sports, a biological woman should only have to compete against other biological women.

In a small number of cases biological women are being denied the correct achievement due to an insane political correctness that views sex as a social construct and ignores the natural physical advantages the male physical has over the female.

It's insane......and people with balls...in every sense.... need to stand up and call a spade a spade.

I can understand why a trans person interested in sport would want to continue their involvement. Male bone structure and the like of a male to female offer an unfair advantage though and in sports like MMA or boxing could even be dangerous. Once this is all thrashed out I see trans women being ruled out of competing in women's events by most sports bodies.

A more complicated case is athlete Casta Semenya whose gender characteristics mean that she has naturally high testosterone levels. She may be forced to take drugs to bring these down to a level that matches others. Almost all athletes have natural advantages over typical people though so I can see why she'd feel aggrieved that hers are under such scrutiny. Then again if it is much higher than the vast majority of other women competing I can see their point of view too. Life is complicated!

If, or more probably when transgender athletes/sportspeople wish to have there own competitions, then I have absolutely no problem with that.

But to ignore simple biological and physical facts of nature in favour of inclusiveness is ball smashingly idiotic, and of course robs female (from Birth) athletes the recognition they deserve.

If it's not stopped, I can see state sponsored transgender operations being offered if you compete as a woman, making the women's world of sport a very farcical and pointless passtime.

To be fair to the transgender people I don't think that there are enough of them to really make a separate practical category of sports competition.

The numbers are too small....Sport organisers and schedulers and broadcasters would have to effectively take them on as a cost loss and that's very unlikely to happen.

I don't think there is a way around it......If you are a transgender male to female you shouldn't be able to compete in female sports. It's a 'feels' v 'reals' situation.

A small number of women have already been unfairly impacted by this.
