It seems the governing bodies of these sports are seriously out of touch with the views of the common public, which overwhelmingly oppose this kind of rubbish.
Sort of confirms my view of a lot of career climbers getting there by reciting whatever is 'woke' to get promoted and being fundamentally unprincipled and cowardly people. Like some ruthless female CEOs pretending to be feminist to climb the ladder when in fact all they care about is their own advancement.

@frank yeah what I don't get about this though, is if the majority overwhelmingly oppose this kind of rubbish, why is it so scueesfuli?
I honestly believe that administrators believe they can thread the needle of being inclusive and ensuring ‘fair’ competition.
But they’re fucking it up all around.

I believe that is driving their attempts to be inclusive. The podcast (I think) you recommended (Things fell apart) dealt with that quite well I thought.

Yes. Did recommend said pod cast. If I recall correctly I thought "Them" dealt with the trans thing kinda ok.
Would have to go back and listen again though.

100%. Look at the JK Rowling backlash all because she thinks a bloke, like me, can't just say "I'm a woman" then stroll into the ladies shitters.

Out of those tweets that I posted the one that makes most sense to me is thread by John Pike.
I have no dea who John Pike is but only got that because I follow Ross Tucker @scienceofsport on Twitter.
I listened to a podcast of his (Tucker) which made (seemingly) a lot of sense, so followed him.
He is a Saffer, and was involved in the IRB ... oops WR ... policy on trans inclusion . Which if you find the podcast is a genuinely good listen.
Hence I get the tweets, which made sense, so I posted.

It’s a promising step that he was even asked the question. Who would ask Ardern?

Any political party with any brains will bring this back or will get hammered by the general public.
Oops, I see my assumption.

Wise decision. A victory for common sense.
Transgender debate, in sport, in general
