British Athletics call for transgender women to compete with men in 'open' category

The policy would require transgender competitors to have completed their transition by the age of 12 to take part in women's contests.FINA President Husain Al-Musallam said at the time the decision was announced:"We have to protect the rights of our athletes to compete, but we also have to protect competitive fairness at our events, especially the women's category at FINA competitions.

"This has not been done before, so FINA will need to lead the way. I want all athletes to feel included in being able to develop ideas during this process."'Fragile' integrity of women's sport The decision by FINA follows controversy after an American trans swimmer claimed victory in a women's race at a US college championships.

So the that’ll be a race for women… And a race for men… Phew…..that was hard!!!

Quite. Who can hold back the hordes of transgender athletes currently taking over women’s sport

As it should be? Colour me fucking shocked.

Hahaha ahahha ahahaha

Or a category all for them.

But we all know they won’t. Want to try and ruin sport for women. It’s a joke. They should have their own category. Want to be different so let’s put them elsewhere

How about creating a transgender category , would kinda make sense wouldn't it

Mad just mad

They're no longer classed as male so shouldn't be in that category, they should be in the own competing with there own to have a fair chance of non biased performance

No no no

madness

well you can look at this as a good thing.. British Athletics is not recognising them as women because they are competing with men.

Transgender women, in other words, men

Scienceofsport

Nope! Just invent a new category (as apparently we’re now overrun by the trans) Guess what? The boys wanting to be girls people will beat the girls wanting to be boys people. End of

So that will be the male catagory then 🤔

Let's stop with this make believe childish fantasy. Animals come (like it or not) in two forms. Male and female You don't get to choose which one you are I'm sorry if this fact of nature hurts your feelings I wanted to be a pokemon master But I had to deal with it

Are you a Labour Party pedophile lover put you hands up you rats 🐀

It’s perfectly normal as a Labour supporter lol 😆

They actualy want to replace the mens category with open. Fuck that, just have a mixed catagory

'You can't have babies Reg!'

Lefty gang I love Corbyn

👏👏👏👏👏 Labour Party will not like this

Madness

Global sporting authorities need get this resolved; it's not rocket science...

Each season every sprinter is blood tested & assigned to a 'testosterone' group (say duo-deciles) & they have to compete in that class for the season (bit like different classes for differing disabilities). In season testing to check they stay within a margin of 'their class'?

Men v men

How is men race against men news?

What is a transgender woman? A bloke? Or a woman that’s pretending to be a bloke? So a woman? 🤯

Why does this country and USA keep going on about transgender this, transgender that! Sick of hearing about them!

Would the sporting governing bodies allow a Trans boxer to compete vs the woman....

Behave yourselves for gods sake

They should also leave the seat up....Giving us MEN a bad name putting the seat down.

JustSayMen

Men vs men huh

This is ridiculous at high stage!

So men competing against men?

Do you support this
