braver than Nikki Lauder?
How on earth did it take 2 and a half pages to come up with Nikki, isn’t this supposed to be a motoring forum?

Fair play, would have been easier for her to side with the mentalists that would rather see actual women beaten to a pulp. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-5696001...

It's simple. Y chromosome? You're competing in the men's event.
A Y chromosome gives you a much bigger performance advantage than any PED.
bA Y chromosome gives you a much bigger performance advantage than any PED.
ks. If that was true there'd be no overlap between athletic performance/ strength/ whatever between men and women. Relative to most species, human males and females are remarkably similar in size, strength etc. Even international athletics federations are more sophisticated than that - iirc they look at the mechanism, which is primarily testosterone.
I'm wondering if you're a real doc.
ks, then in the very next sentence make a ridiculous statement. Yes, a fit, trained woman can outperform an unfit, untrained man.Compare like for like and that does not happen.Name me an athletic event where women outperform men please.
Running - Women's world records are on average more than 10% slower.
Field Events - difference is even greater.
Lifting - ditto
Cycling - ditto
Athletics federation were forced to change to cater for the tiny number of intersex athletes such a Semenya, and a growing concern about 'testosterone doping'. That does not mean that the greater normal levels of testosterone in a biological male (Y chromosome) gives them a measurable performance advantage. If it were not the case, why are intersex athletes forced to take medication to reduce their levels to those 'normal' for women?

The British skydiving championships 4-person team event was won last time by NFTO, an all-female team competing absolutely equally with all-male and mixed-gender teams.

Women do pretty well in ultra endurance events.

thats because they can give birth and act like all is ok 5 minutes later. For example:

if that was me, id wings winge buggery for years
For those who still think it is OK for males to compete in women's sport, there are a few examples I want to make you aware of. Around 15,000 men have run faster than the women's marathon record. 15 year old boys have run faster than the women's 100m record.
Here are some mediocre men who once they transitioned, started winning at the highest level in women's sport.

It's been a while since I was at nationals (or jumped) but women have been competing equally with men for years in 4 way skydiving with the senior (AAA) category having had a seperate women's table and open one. Interestingly this may be the first time an all female team has won but Satori dominated for years as a mixed team tooMine :
