Transgender man wins women's 100 yd and 400 yd freestyle races.

Because scrum halfs never get tackled by props?

And round and round we go.

The deliberate mixing and matching of biological sex and gender when it's being made perfectly clear that they are not the same thing.

Since your seem to have re-set you talking points back to index card #1 I'll disengage from discussing this further with you.

I have answered your questions honestly and to the best of my abilities.

My position is clear. A trans woman is a woman, a trans man is a man.

My identity as a woman is not threatened by either of these statements.

Indeed. Which is why I specified within the context of elite sports - as medically transitioned is required. That is why the Transgender man mentioned in the OP was competing against women, including a trans woman. Those are not my rules. They are, however, the rules elite trans athletes are currently expected to observe.

I placed no qualifies on non-elite athletes participating at the gender they identify.

Interesting you can predict the future of women's (incl trans) abilities with such accuracy. You must make a killing at the bookies.

I would never place a limit on what women athletes will be able to do in the future following decades of the kind of investment put into male athletes we could all be very surprise. Wasn't that long ago it was believed no woman could run a marathon.

'Normal'

Not 'Normal'

Well, there you have it. Defination of woman in 2 easy lessons.

And here we have two cis women of vastly different sizes competing against each other.

Below is Verity Smith.

Who played rugby (union and league) for 26 years as a non-medically transitioned Trans Man - therefore in the photo below Smith was 100% biologically female (although GCer's like to use this photo and claim Smith had transitioned.) In 2018, Smith was tackled by a much smaller player and his spine was crushed.

Verity Smith is now confined to a wheelchair, has medically transitioned, and plays wheelchair rugby as a man.

We are expected to believe this 'safe' as both women are biologically female, the difference in their respective weights is 56 kg:

But this woman is dangerous because she has too much testosterone:

Meanwhile no concerns about safe size differences in men's sport (on this photo significant height difference makes high tackles technically far more likely to happen, which are dangerous, but no one is suggesting setting height limits):

The point is bodies come in all shapes and sizes - and so do athletes.

There is pearl clutching that trans women are 'too big' to compete against cis women but nothing about the vast differences in size between cis women at elite level. That, apparently is ok. Unless the women in question fails the 'gender verification tests'.....

Men don't have their gender verified, neither are there safety concern or fairness concerns when 159 kg Toulon prop Walid Maamry competes against the 82 kg Toulouse Half-Back Antoine Dupont.

Only women's bodies are policed.

The criteria that is meant to 'protect' women from 'bigger' trans women is meaningless as there are already vast size differences between current biologically female players.

Do you believe biological women are so incapable of beating transwomen in any sports that the only way to ensure fairness is to ban all transwomen from competing against cis women?

I have more faith in the abilities of biologically female athletes tbh.

I think that is the crux of it. A core belief that a biological female will never be able to beat a biological male - even when that biological male has been taking testosterone reducing drugs, and oestrogen, for a number of years. I simply do not share that belief. I find it sexist and dismissive for women's abilities.

And given the lack of trans women winning at major events in the 40+ years since Richards won the right to compete as a woman the stats certainly don't point to any significant advantage favouring transwomen. Richards actually lost at Wimbledon in the doubles. One of her winning opponents was Navratilova.

Much is made of Lia Thomas - who has won no major event, set no records. But we are expected to worry that she will beat Ledecky who has 6 individual Olympic gold medals, 14 world Championship golds, a career total so far of 42 medals and setting 14 world records.

But, according to some, Thomas' 'advantage' of having gone through male puberty would overcome Ledecky's skill, talent, training, ability.

The stats tell a very different story. They show that even in the Varsity race Thomas won in previous years, based on her time, she would have been lucky to come 2nd. And she is going to beat Ledecky? I don't think so.
