@SVPhillimore This issue is that so many men are only kind to woman if they want to have sex with them therefore believe every woman who shows them any kindness must want that as well

@bushontheradio I ended up on a table at the school PTA quiz with all the divorced dads. We went for “fathers for just quiz”

@BantonRichard @Tungsten_Tales Surely then he will reach the same heights in the men’s game? There’s clearly no difference anyway?

@jamesdavis6939 @Andy_Webb1021 @mara_yamauchi She has 190 parkruns and junior parkruns under her belt and 73 volunteer credits. She is incredible! Nothing on earth will ever deter her I’m sure!

@Andy_Webb1021 @mara_yamauchi My 11 year old niece is an impressive runner. She has a sub 20 parkrun time. We attended an out and back course last month and we realised at the turn she was first female. She was over the moon at the finish but there was a TW ahead of her. She also cared.

@RebornDoom @choclitlover1 @FondOfBeetles There is a 44 year old at my amateur running club who could turn up tomorrow and blitz prime Semenya

@NoFilterSkin Who told you that?

[running40s @coomarz0]

@PeterMcCormack I went to school on the late 80s and was taught to work in industries that were already being dismantled.

@BaggooAlan @hecheateddotorg This is an interesting conversation. I’m now wondering is the increase in children identifying as trans over the last 5 years will have a latent effect on the amount of elite level trans athletes in the next 5-10 years.

@TheFLZone @MartCAFC45 West Ham sold players without discussing it with Curbs. His contract stated he had the final say on transfers. For good reason. Curbs was a shrewd operator in the transfer market. He sued for constructive dismissal and won. I believe he would have been successful at West Ham

@LillzTIL The IOC decision seems to be primarily about male athletes with DSD conditions.

[running40s @coomarz0]

@KirstiMiller30 @LillzTIL @AedricOisin @MightyCaster So your argument for males with DSD conditions to be allowed to compete in woman’s sport is that Caster Semenya is actually only a strong local club level runner? Female elite sport should celebrate elite female athletes and not mediocre men.

[running40s @coomarz0]

@1swancelona @sharrond62 I know! Can you believe that it took thousands of women organising a grass roots campaign to resolve an issue like men competing in women’s sport. Imagine what could have been achieved without having to fight against misogynistic men propping up this insanity.

[running40s @coomarz0]

@1swancelona @sharrond62 Thank God it’s not either/or right? Now the issue of men competing in woman’s sports has been resolved you can campaign for better doping controls!

@johncox510456 @sharrond62 If you made a separate category for players under 6ft tall to compete equally in basketball would you advocate for 7ft tall players to identify into that category?

[running40s @coomarz0]

@johncox510456 @sharrond62 We can accept natural advantages within a category (like height in basketball), but can still use separate categories where the advantages are large, consistent, and structural - this would describe almost every sport when comparing male vs female performance.

[running40s @coomarz0]

@johncox510456 @sharrond62 Then surely by your own reasoning a 10% difference would be large enough to require separate categories based on biological sex which the IOC policy protects? Amateurs at my local athletics club beat the female WR in the 100

[running40s @coomarz0]

@johncox510456 @alexmassie Difference between black and white sprinters is currently 3.5% and that figure always changes. Difference between men and woman is 10% and permanent. Stop being a racist too.

[running40s @coomarz0]

@johncox510456 @sharrond62 The difference between Usain Bolt and the fastest white European sprinter is 3.5%. The difference to the quickest woman is 10%. It is 100% conceivable for a white male athlete to take the record. A woman just never could. You have made a ridiculous and slightly racist argument.

@brookelynn74 @boooooo50891527 @sharrond62 You do understand that this ruling schools and little leagues don’t compete in the Olympics???
