I like New Year Resolutions, so here goes:

1. get my French to C1 level
2. Go to the theatre more often
3. Drink lots of good wine
4. Go to champagne and buy lots of champagne
5. Get a six pack (almost impossible)

It’s actually very easy. In countries with decent health care systems these conditions are discovered, usually at puberty. In poorer countries they often aren’t, although Caster and the coaches most likely knew and knew Caster was actually a mediocre male athlete.

Yes, there are many things I think are not right with the BBC but I still believe the BBC is a national treasure

I came very close to land a job there in March. It would have been a dream to work for them (don't worry, not on TV... in IT😂)

I am proud to contribute to the BBC with the license fee

The ones we are referring to in this discussion, that is to say Caster and the other two athletes. Yes, they are male, they have aDSD that only men get.

Steven Seggie @stevenhseggie.bsky.social · 2h

Because athletes with DSDs are men.

Yep, it’s one of the stupidest arguments ever to claim that it’s racist. It shows the person hasn’t even cared enough to think through the argument and instead is just repeating tropes that he/she has heard on the playground. Tedious nonsense.

Steven Seggie @stevenhseggie.bsky.social · 2h

No I think males should compete with males and females with females.

Steven Seggie @stevenhseggie.bsky.social · 2h

them as they are ignorant and can’t even be bothered to learn about how sport is organized. It’s so tedious to still see this nonsense especially now when it’s all over.

Steven Seggie @stevenhseggie.bsky.social · 2h

There are two gives that demonstrate ignorance in any debate around trans women in women’s sport or ‘intersex’ men in women’s sport. If anyone starts talking about the fact Phelps has huge advantages too in reference to trans women or that acting against ‘intersex’ athletes is racist then ignore

An argument only spouted by people who don’t know the faintest thing about sport and who are too lazy to find out. The main victims of Caster Semenya et al were black female African athletes who lost out on places and medals in local and regional teams, national squads. Dreams shattered by cheats

The racism argument is really stupid and anyone using it doesn’t understand how sport works. The biggest victims of Caster et al are black African female athletes who lost spots on local, regional and national teams, and local, regional, and national medals.

The easy agreed bit is key given everyone’s ability to disagree and split

Platforming Kelvin Mackenzie?

Steven Seggie @stevenhseggie.bsky.social · 7h

I think so. It’s not a criticism of people, they have to live their lives. Just a reflection of where the country is at.

Apart from anything else, the BBC is, along with music, the Premier League and some other stuff, a huge source of soft power for the UK.

Yet again we ask the question of those like Jolyon or the far right who wish to abolish the BBC, why do you hate Britain so much that you want to weaken it?

Steven Seggie @stevenhseggie.bsky.social · 10h

It’s insane and all I see on (mostly foreign based) Turks socials is how dare Mamdani not be 100% positive about Ataturk’s legacy”.
People have just completely clocked out.

Steven Seggie @stevenhseggie.bsky.social · 10h

And for those of you complaining about Sonia Sodha talking about the trans issue re the BBC on the radio yesterday, it’s also the basis of all Jolyon’s complaints. But he’s on the “right side” of that issue so you won’t complain about him, right?

Steven Seggie @stevenhseggie.bsky.social · 11h

For a guy who loves to paint people as far right for sharing views that the far right have, here’s Joly*n agreeing with the far right that we should get rid of the BBC.

I'm surprised that he hasn't yet committed the GLP to fundraising for Trump's $1Bn lawsuit, planning to show how the BBC sometimes fails to be biased in a way that he's in favour of.

I didn’t realise you were on here Stefan, how’s it going ?

Nice to see that, in these times of increasing uncertainty, that Jolyon reliably remains a fucking idiot.
