I am sometimes led to think that this is just an argument about theory among a load of people in London (like me) but then I see things like this.
My London 'friends' who are big on the 'trans women are women' thing seem to see sportswomen (their careers and their lives) as collateral damage; I find it staggering. What will it take for them to take it seriously?!
I was chatting to an old friend in my (obscure northern industrial) hometown, though (we never talk about stuff like this) and she said she'd recently given up roller derby as trans women got on the team and were kicking the shit out of them. It's already affecting so many people we don't even hear about.
If one sport is going to lead the charge with this it will be rugby. They have a dose of common sense a mile wide. If they collapse I will fear for everything!
The male-bodied athlete in women's sport arguments reminds me of the behaviour of this unexpected visitor to a nest. Behold the ignorant support of their host, and the impact on the previous inhabitants. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SO1WccH2_YM
No males or TW in women's sports. Stonewall has no interest in women's rights, only men's.
