They shouldn’t be targeted or discriminated against. That said, I think issues around bathrooms and the sporting arena are legitimate concerns. It’s really not helpful when people like John Oliver continually claim there’s no evidence that trans athletes have any advantage. Not sure why he’s willing to die on that hill. Let’s have a sensible debate about integrating them into sport, my solution would be to give them their own category. It might not be a great solution that pleases everyone but it’s arguably the fairest to include trans people but most importantly keeping women’s sport as fair as possible. Fairness has to trump inclusion IMO.



I assume you’re referring to Imani Khalif? I must admit I’m a little hazy on the details, but again I think many people raised legitimate questions about her eligibility given that she allegedly has a male chromosome.


I think the vast majority of the public think trans people should have the rights as anyone, but a line has to be drawn in bathrooms and sport.

Imane is a woman.

Who’s checking under peoples skirts on the door?

How would they even know?

Everyone has the right to use a bathroom safely.

Trans women being a threat to other women in bathrooms is a made up attack channel.

Pushing a certain group of women into having to use the men’s is going to cause far more issues.

@markysimmo?

Imane is a woman.

Not saying she isn’t but she has a male chromosome allegedly right?

what a weird way to math

in that case we should stop anyone competing with anyone bigger than them in anyhing right?

We do in some ports already, it's why boxing has weight divisions.

There is no one answer for this anyway.
Let each sport make the call. Some sports there won't be any advantage or risk of injury. Others will.

We have weight divisions in boxing. Trans athletes have a clear advantage over women in most cases.

weight classes would make sense in a lot more sports

the second part is a generalisation, depends on the sport and the participants involved, not all sports rely on physicality

yep, and they need to come up with a better way in those sports of pooling participants, limiting to two of the genders doesn't work anymore

In non-contact sports like darts yes. But athletics, boxing, swimming etc trans athletes have an advantage.
