Depends on your point of view, but if you were a person born female competing in the same Olympics I am sure you would consider it unfair.
if he says so.She ?
It is; if I say I identify as a woman; I am one.Identifies as a woman? Has she had surgery, or is identification enough these days?
A world apart from Montreal 1976 when everyone was visually tested to confirm their gender except for Princess Anne.
Doesn't need a snip, just a change of personal pronoun.
should of got Prince Andrew to check her.....Identifies as a woman? Has she had surgery, or is identification enough these days?

The cruellest snip of all
Can't be easy to test a Lizard for gender with human testing ?Identifies as a woman? Has she had surgery, or is identification enough these days?

ShimIt’s a man body stronger and physical. At least if the proper girls beat Shim they can say you got beaten by a girl.
I believe was competing in men’s competitions before in way cheating to win by changing sex.
Like a cock and bollocks presumably?18 posts in and not one mention of what her snatch looks like...
And her clean and jerk?Like a cock and bollocks presumably?
I think they’ve taken her jerk (clean) offAnd her clean and jerk?
Or Nilly Willy evenHow about what it says on your birth certificate stands Now this really pisses me off , hundreds of thousands of folk waiting for operations and people think it’s justified to change the sex they were born with Willy nilly
Agreed.All naturally born females should refuse to enter any event that Transgender men are competing in because of the unfair advatrage they have. It is akin to legalising drugs in sport to enhance physical abilities.
I often wondered what Peter Mowbray did now! He vanished after our Premier League stint but it good to see he’s kept himself busy.
“The regulations are not aimed at any particular athlete, but are designed to preserve the integrity of the female category,” said World Athletics.Totally insane…. That’s what it is !!
A complete mockery of women’s sport and totally unfair on real female athletes
Who’s being pulled?Quite bizarre, how long before this thread is pulled
Fair comments.I understand this is a forum for opinions but people would not be so blatantly racist on here as they are being transphobic. Regardless of your opinion on whether she should be able to compete (which personally I see as a tricky one. I think she’s undergone treatment for levelling out hormones to the average level for other elite female athletes and that has been given time to take affect, then that mitigates then advantage) the post has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that she has transitioned so calling her him or even ‘shim’ not only is out of order and narrow minded but it’s nothing to do with the original post.
Was he an elite athlete pre transitioning?I understand this is a forum for opinions but people would not be so blatantly racist on here as they are being transphobic.

It’s actually not remotely ‘tricky’. This person is not a female and no amount of ‘transitioning’ can change that biological fact.No I’m not sure SHE was. Like I said the matter of whether she should be able to compete is tricky, my main point was the post asked for opinions on that, not to openly discriminate against and poke fun at her
In every day life why would anyone have a problem with someone transitioning. What’s the answer then? Make somebody who is no longer male compete in a male competition? If that’s their hobby or livelihood they shouldn’t be told they can no longer compete.It’s actually not remotely ‘tricky’. This person is not a female and no amount of ‘transitioning’ can change that biological fact.
As for the fun-poking… Why should a sports cheat be shown respect? This person is openly discriminating against females and keeping more deserving athletes from competing… its contemptible from a sporting perspective
and has then managed to progress in a sports sense.
I have no problem with anyone transitioning, though I would question exactly what it is that they transition into. It’s pretty insulting to suggest that being a Female is simply a ‘state of mind’ or for that matter a straightforward matter of reassignment surgery or hormonal modification…. They will never be biologically Male or Female, regardless.In every day life why would anyone have a problem with someone transitioning. What’s the answer then? Make somebody who is no longer male compete in a male competition? If that’s their hobby or livelihood they shouldn’t be told they can no longer compete.
Calling her a sports cheat is again narrow minded. Do you really think the reason she’s changed her whole life at 32 so she could compete professionally for a few years because that’s clearly not the case. There’s no discrimination from her she’s changed her own life outside of sport and has then managed to progress in a sports sense.
