Steve Cram ended up tying himself in knots last year over that US 'non binary' runner.
Unfortunately there's no medals for being STUNNING AND BRAVEOh the men will love wearing those skimpy beach volleyball outfits.
You can post behind a spoiler? If you'd like that is.There is a video of it, but I’m not sure I should post it on here - it’s pretty grim.
I read the article this morning and I was angry at that ridiculous comment. It’s not complicated. It’s absolutely pure and simple and binary. Always has been. Always will be.Articles like this are always written by a ‘gender and identity correspondent’
I presume BBC don’t have a womens correspondent?

Regulating elite sports, which typically rely on male-female binary categories in competition, is complicated because the biology of sex itself is complex and not exclusively binary.
Don’t see any DSD or trans women in volleyball….. bet they’d change the uniform “requirements” and let the poor women wear longer bottoms like they’ve asked for previously!Oh the men will love wearing those skimpy beach volleyball outfits.

This is the kind of stuff that really makes me depressed. This is what I’ve been faced with when I’ve dared say something in real life. What can you say to people who tell you this!? SighhhhhhhhhThis is total madness - XX/XY is not an accurate way to determine male/female therefore two male boxers are women - this is the IOC president today
It’s those testicles of objectivity swinging around again isn’t it. It’s not a politically motivated culture war when it’s him taking a very clear side, is it? It could only be other people who have nefarious motivations.More from Mr Bach -

The further thought occurs. Thomas says that in order to challenge the “fact” that someone who has a female passport isn’t a woman, then we need to come up with a new scientific definition of what a woman is. But if it’s all so opaque and difficult, on what basis are the passports being issued and why does he have any confidence at all that they’re factually correct? “well, the science isn’t settled AT ALL, but the passport office are definitely the experts. All of them. From every country”.
Tripoed over your own fool, there, Thomas. Ironic.
Said it before but biological women simply would not have the same kind of support that these two boxers have had. Absolutely no chance would any man come out to bat for them like this.More from Mr Bach -
BIB - Clearly, he has never read The Day of the Jackal - for younger readers the Jackal gets fake passports by finding children's graves and using their identities to get new passports.It’s those testicles of objectivity swinging around again isn’t it.

I watched it and I am sure the commentator forgot himself and referred to Khelif as “he” a couple of times!!Gold for Khelif. I didn’t watch it. I think this is the best outcome now to keep the discussion rumbling on. Even more so if Yu Ting also takes Gold.
