It really should not be complicated, your birth gender determines your eligibility for sport, it doesn’t stop you enjoying, participating or competing.
It does stop unfair competition, that should be the standard across all sport.
Well, of course. This is what the vast majority of us have always taken for granted, but, sadly, a minority of men who have gone through male puberty and are not quite good enough to win medals against other male athletes are now self-identifying as women knowing that their superior strength will give them an unfair advantage.
In my view, a lot of the problems stem from a few men who are resentful of the strides for equality that women have made in the past hundred years or so. They are still of the view that we should be housewives and concerned only with domestic affairs. Because we largely have no intention of that, the rise of the trans movement has been an absolute gift to them. Here is another way to put women in their place. A man only has to say that he is now a woman and bingo! He is allowed into women's toilets and changing rooms, prisons and hospital wards and, of course, sports; thus intimidating many women in the process. It only works one way. It is only women who are expected to give up their private spaces. Recently, there was an event where women had to use unisex toilets. There were still male only toilets, so men had twice as many options as women.
