Female =/= medicated male.
Oh, irony.

No, saying something doesn't make it so.
So, saying "I'm a woman" can't make a man eligible for female sport.

Because he isn't.
Categories are an inclusion measure. They make sure that sport, and all the goods it entails, are not reserved for 20-25 year old males.
The case for excluding ALL males from female sport is watertight.
They're not eligible.
The case for all male athletes being excluded from female sport categories is the same regardless of any other factor.
They're not female.
If there is justification to have a women's category, it MUST exclude everyone who is male. Otherwise, there is no women's category.
*Competitive* sport exists for exactly the purpose I stated. Elite sport exists bc of, & is sustained by, grassroots & leisure sport. It all needs to be fair & reasonably safe or none of it is. That is achieved by categories. Defeat the category & you defeat the purpose. Sport is for women, too.
The purpose of competitive sport is to find the best athlete/team in a given discipline. Categories, w/(eg) age, sex or weight related criteria aim to ensure wide participation in fair & reasonably safe sport.
Allowing anyone to enter a category he is ineligible for defeats that at every level.
Men who smoke, drink,overeat, and/or don't train also lose advantage compared to men who do. We don't let them compete against women.
Women's sport is for excellent women, not men who aren't competitive in their own category.
There is no exclusion from sport, blanket, or otherwise. What there is is a return to an insistence that athletes/players participate in the appropriate category (i.e., wrt to the purpose of the category).
If a man doesn't want to compete against other men, that's a him problem.
Shame on you. Statutory guidance is not the law. The law is as it has been since it was passed in 2010. Your contempt for your female members is palpable.
Complying with the law is a reason.
Another dodge, and I see the insults have come out in force.
One who has faith in their argument answers questions about it and NEVER calls someone "dog's breath" for asking. Run along, troll.
So you should be able to answer it.
Who specifically has been treated indecently and how?
Whose business is a man minding in a women's toilet?
Only an idiot spells it "your"...
What type of gamete does the sex produce that is to female & male what purple is to red and blue?
Not when they're actually doing biology, they don't.
Biologists who say this are not doing biology at the time.
of male or female. This being the case, modern biologists think there is a very strong case for increasing the categorisation of sex from a binary to a spectrum. Do you think 'light red' for example, is different from red and can stand alone as a colour type, in a similar way that say a type like
But "male/man" and "female/woman" are a different type of thing than colour, or height, or hormone levels in the blood (etc).
Human height varies. Men tend to be taller than women. The only reason we know that is that we can already tell men & women apart.
Tall women are not men. Not even a bit.
No. I think you were trying to prove the opposite that way.
Turns out,sex isn't colour.
Who knew?
Yes, but red is not blue and blue is not red.
But does the perception of purple mean that there is no such thing as red or blue?
Whose sex was "up for public scrutiny" and who made it so? What's wrong with "what ifs"? Safeguarding, health & safety, risk assessment - all founded on "what if" questions.
