Yes obviously having a different opinion is trolling. The only people i have said are wrong are the ones using transphobic language, if you can point to where i have done otherwise then do it.
Im certainly bored of repeating myself, yes.
I'm bored, but not bored enough to review every single post in this thread and look for some nuanced reply that I think proves your statement wrong. Im certainly bored of repeating myself, yes.
If you are bored rather than a trolling, stand by your assertation and stop posting?
But yes it’s a total waste of energy (as is this whole biard to be honest) so ill stop.
Cue robbie saying ive ‘flounced’ and that it proves something or other. ;-)

You are everything wrong with this debate.
Focusing on the 'anti-trans' without suggesting a fair idea on how sport can progress (and admitting you don't know).
Basically, do whatever as long as trans-rights are protected.

Like he said, consistent non-answers, whilst simultaneous telling others they are wrong and 'lets just leave it there comments'...then you come back again and repeat the same behaviours.

Or will you just blindly agree with every single governing body that regulates their sport - even though they are completely at odds in Rugby and Weightlifting?

That's not an especially terrible stance tbf.The key word being whatever.
The 'whatever' in this example is letting ex-males compete against females in strength sports despite them having huge biological advantages.

It is potentially sacrificing the whole of women's sport for an admittedly very difficult issue for a very small minority of people and governing bodies could end up spending a long time and legal fees on this.

Weightlifting is one of those sports that you don’t need to show your maximum strength.
You just need to lift a kg more than your nearest competitor.
Expecting a Trans Medal here
She's 43 and coming off a massive injury. She's not got world records, but then she apparently stopped lifting as a male in 2001, transitioned in 2012 and took up lifting again in 2017.You just need to lift a kg more than your nearest competitor.
Expecting a Trans Medal here
So at the age of 39, having not trained for 16 years she rapidly became a national champion and is in with a shot of a medal as a 43-year-old.
Imagine if she'd transitioned in 2007 and then took it up as a female in 2009.

If that is all true, then that is ridiculous and an awful situation for women's sport.So at the age of 39, having not trained for 16 years she rapidly became a national champion and is in with a shot of a medal as a 43-year-old.
How could anybody believe that to be a reasonable situation?
