Is anybody else getting tired/bored/sick of this area of discussion?
No offence to OP intended at all but when I read the above article today and then this one, I despaired of our priorities these days
THE Epsom Derby has unveiled an LGBT area to encourage a more diverse audience to attend the races
The “celebratory” venue, which will feature drag performances and free queer literature, will open on Derby Day in early June – the first day of races. While the Jockey Club hopes the additions will make the event more “inclusive”, others believe it is simply a PR stunt and will do little to open up the sport
Does anybody still think that in the days before female emancipation that any woman would have felt “encouraged” to attend the Derby if “celebratory” spaces had been created for her in the name of “equality” It’s enough to make a horse laugh.
Don’t people go to the Derby for a day out at the races anyway?
Who cares about their sexuality or gender identification?
Then this
Lauren Jeska, a transgender athlete who was born male, was given an 18-year sentence in 2017 for the attempted murder of a UK Athletics official after she had been in a dispute with the sport’s governing body over her eligibility to compete as a female athlete.
But on the website of Parkrun, which organises 5-kilometre weekly races for people of all abilities around the world, Jeska continues to hold the women’s record time for Aberystwyth, with a time of 17 minutes 38 seconds, prompting outrage from campaigners for equality in women’s sport
(Entirely justifiable outrage, IMHO)
Why on earth should a biological woman even bother any more?
And BTW “he/she” is being held in a womens prison.
