@EdwardCarney@EllCee14@ThunderHeidi @locopsu @RpsAgainstTrump Your worried about this but happy to vote for a misogynist who has openly boasted about entering changing rooms at beauty pageants and leering at young girls (and worse)? A possibly risk vs a proven one.
@Sal_Robins Apologies this reads poorly but the fact remains - I can find no credible evidence below that this is happening in anything but extreme circumstances.
@Sal_Robins You ask for evidence and many people are using an article from Wiley as proof. Read the additional comments added by the author who states really does refute much of the sensationalism on this thread. Please read it before you accept these claims. The rest seems to be hearsay.
@rabgee101 This pin is nowhere in the 14 pages of pins in the RBL brochure. By not using due diligence to cause a bit of outrage you could have cost the charity money.
@TorontoKimM@djdirtybeatsha@TaylorCtaylor67@TheDunkinHOnut @turnbulldugarte Seriously not sure how this contradicts the IOC messing up. Sadly she is a female with DSD - as the tests remain confidential we do not know what form. She is female on her birth certificate, she's recognised as female but she clearly has a developmental advantage over others.
@drewski429@SasukeOurad@lara_e_brown Behave! DSD is a totally natural process usually caused by a genetic mutation. There is nothing that these individuals can do about a mutation that took place at conception. Misgendering these people takes away the important issue here - is it safe for a DSD person to fight?
@drewski429@SasukeOurad@lara_e_brown She is accepted as having DSD and she is accepted as being female so if it isn't XXY she must have some other female biochemistry as well as the male chromosomes.
The main point is that she is still female albeit with DSD. It's still insensitive to call her male or trans.
@Ridaaaz@SasukeOurad@lara_e_brown You mean Caster - 2 Olympic golds - Semenya. IOC rules always been different to others. She took testosterone suppressants to compete in World championships not olympics.
@VecnaUnchained@SasukeOurad@lara_e_brown Totally different from transgender. Transgender requires changing your gender through artificial means. This lady has DSD - she was assigned female at birth so more likely has more female than male sex characteristics - it's incorrect and cruel to suggest anything else.
@drewski429@SasukeOurad@lara_e_brown She probably has both female and male chromosomes (xxy) so you can argue it any way. Rather shows that having an arbitrary female (xx) & male (xy) genetics doesn't always work!
@GTS9911@SasukeOurad@lara_e_brown She hasn't changed her sex since birth so is not trans nor male. She was just born with DSD - totally not her fault. This doesn't mean that it is right or fair to fight females without DSD but calling her male is just scientifically incorrect and is rather cruel.
@GTS9911@SasukeOurad@lara_e_brown We don't know if she was born with a penis (considering she was assigned female probably indeterminate at best) nor what her chromosome make up is. It's likely xxy (so both male & female). We do she has high testosterone level and that she was assigned female.
@seaningle Please remember that the Algerian athlete is not a trans woman. She was born with DSD - there is nothing she can do about the extra Y chromosome that she was born with. Whilst there definitely is an argument that it isn't safe for her to fight a woman, calling her a man is cruel.
@dozecat007@JohnnyForeign12@BBCr4today@BBCR4Feedback I'm watching the olympics now not the news but at 10 o'clock last night (the flagship news show on the BBC it was mentioned in the opening credits & in the main piece. It showed a lady, clearly upset being comforted post heckle. You called out the BBC wrongly.
@goudie1878 @MrSifter2@McDaddy99@StanCollymore Behave - last night his name was a made up phrase on Google translate and he'd just come over on a boat - this trying to fit a narrative is sad and it's showing the Uk up. Wait till the dust settles, let people grieve, wait for facts then fill your boots with the blinkers shit.
