None of them should be participating in female sport, because none of them are female.
It is important to say this clearly, and loudly.
"He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you."
Friedrich Nietzsche. Beyond Good and Evil (1866).
You might like to think that if the rape gang (sexual conquest gang) scandal had come to your attention you certainly would not have denied what was happening, or remained silent.
Stop. Dare to really ask yourself (instead of just assuming your virtue):
You would've put your career on the line?
You would've put your family on the firing line?
You would've accepted being labelled a Nazi? And the death threats?
When in your whole life have you ever done something that brave?
Do you understand that you would have to reconfigure your entire understanding of what it means to be human to plumb the depths of that abysmal crime?
Do you have any idea how traumatizing it is to admit to the reality of true malevolence—of genuine evil?
You're really sure you have that in you?
Best to pray, then, that your virtue in that regard is never tested.

A highly unusual case of an ageing nonce changing his name to avoid said connections to said noncing and wanting to be taken seriously in public life.
We should highlight said nonces wherever we find them and enjoy the very much deserved consequences.
Caution didn't win women the vote, or equal pay, or fair sport, or the right to single-sex spaces. Sophie Cunningham is standing up for women and girls everywhere and it's glorious. Fuck caution.
Palestinian Culture isn't ancient or even old. In fact, there's a Venn Diagram that exactly describes its formation, which happened in the middle of the 20th century.
1. The Flamingos (Ferals) have four men on their "women's" rugby team.
2. The top three women's teams that play in the same league all have men on them.
3. The Ferals won all of their games against teams that didn't have men.
4. In the single game where they lost by a huge margin, their star male player did not play.
5. Goon has described this male player as incredibly fast and that no one can catch him. The other men are over 6 feet tall. All are relatively inexperienced, they appear to be rookies who have never played before and the other appears to have played only one year, yet two of the men have scored the majority of goals. Goon credits their success with "good coaching."
6. Goon seems to believe men have no advantage over women if the team with more men wins. He ignores the teams without men that were crushed by the teams with men all season. He also ignores the fact that some men are just bad at sports.
7. When an athletic man played on this team, the score was 36-27, Ferals. When he did not play, the score was 5-70. Goon again blames this on coaching and "who was available to play." Obviously, the key individual who was not "available to play" that day was a man.
His presence determined the outcome of every game. Without him, not one woman scored.
8. USA Rugby has not "banned" anyone. They require men to play on men's teams or on open teams because women need an actual women's league.
9. There is no discussion about women who play in men's leagues because they have no advantage and are only putting themselves at risk, something they understand and are bearing the responsibility of.
10. No story can encompass every angle, but this story is told entirely from the perspective of men who say whatever they want and Goon expects his readers to believe them. It also appears he has interviewed their teammates, some of whom are "trans" identified themselves (there are women who pretend to be men and who call themselves nonbinary on the team as well).
11. Goon has shut off comments so he cannot be corrected.
Sir, this is simply indefensible. Your entire article is ridiculous. Those of us familiar with men in women's sports have endured over decades of the same slop coming out of reporters, praising these shameful teams and players.
They are violating the rules. Do you understand this? What they are doing is WRONG. It is UNFAIR. It is DANGEROUS.
And your article very much appears to be advocating for this.
Trouble is, 'trans' isn't an adjective. 'Trans woman' is a compound noun meaning 'man who wants to be considered a woman.' If the individual being described isn't trans, he's simply a man, whereas a bespectacled woman remains a woman even if she's not wearing glasses.
To all those uneducated about sport. To participate you HAVE to consent to drug testing, many times a year, year in year out. Whilst observed. A sex screening test IS once. Takes ten seconds & is not intrusive . It protects fair female sport. Stop the gaslighting, we see you!
@drljultra I’m off to see the wife in Florida.
Do you have any sun in your English garden?
Soak it up if you have it.
I hate to ask, but are you out of dogs?
