Rabe9 Trans women in sport was always a stalking horse for the religious bigots to use against the sexually non conformist. It was never about sport and always about imposing religious conformity through the parliament. Perrottet and Morrison are getting the culture war they wanted.

Rabe9 Imho this issue isn’t about the right of transgender to participate in sport. Many people respect their right to identify as they wish. This is about fairness in sports. The reason that women don’t currently compete against men is to allow this fairness.
Rabe9 This transgender BS is being given too much airspace. There is better things in this world to discuss than a man wanting boobs. FFS.
Rabe9 It's insane that this is even a thing.
