Men have many biological advantages: bigger lungs, longer limbs, greater muscle mass, greater weight, bigger hands, thicker bones ... There are many characteristics that are UNCHANGEABLE despite being under hormonal treatment

The Olympics is about sport you fuxkwhit, not personal agendas and political gestures!

This man

She can compete and Caster Semenya cant compete, this world is full of racism

The beginning of the end for elite women’s sport

Well done to all the stupid woke out there. This is what happens when you want to rock the boat in life. Deal with the situation! Where all the feminists now

Should not have been allowed to compete in the event,it is totally unfair to the womens sport.

I simply wouldve refused to compete with a c0ck in a fr0ck, this is beyond ridiculous!

And an assault on women's rights worldwide.

There should be separate events for trans athletes to level the playing field.

Cheater

Unfair . If it was me I would’ve been mad competing with woman !

Those born male should not be allowed to participate in sporting events reserved for those born female. It's that simple.

I can't cope with seeing these people any longer. Feeling sort of physically sick. Why do they always need and want to be on the world stage ramming it down our throats

I’m an open minded person but can’t see myself ever accepting this as fair in women’s sport. The genetic lottery of life granted you what it did. How about being the worlds greatest women’s hod carrier instead?

Unfair.

It's a bloke

Should not be allowed to compete. Nothing to celebrate here.

That's a white man with so many privileges. Meanwhile, a black South African athlete cannot represent her country. How are ppl allowing this to happen?

This is unfair.

Just wondering....what next?

BergqvistSofie Once again, a man will be crowned best woman. Men are better at everything, including being a woman.
