    What kind of a man can sleep at night, knowing he has destroyed the careers of women who through shear dedication and hard work have climbed to the pinnacle of their sport? And that goes for those who while holding down a job and bringing up children, are trashed in a sport they have dedicated so much of their free time to by a man who has been so blinded by his own selfishness, that he can no longer see reason to the point of having no shame.

      What I've noticed last 5 odd years is even powerful corporations seem to be bowing more to the woke brigade, lobby groups shame corporations that don't agree with their inclusiveness angle, corporations that don't advertise in the social style the woke want.
      Corporations seem to think (and I'm basing this assumption on how they advertise to us) that the majority of the mainstream want this too.
      These woke lobby groups are very strong, and they are backed up by legal due process using anti discrimination legislation that has been around since the mid 1980s and is continually evolving with the times.
      Social media has now made a lot of people on the fringe who pre internet would of been just fighting locally for their rights or even just in the closet, to now go confidently outwards into the new generations, internet has spread the word about this lifestyle unlike anything ever seen, and even encourages that lifestyle to younger generations influenced by digital media.
      There's a lot of digital momentum behind these movements now, and they are getting pretty strong. And for parkrun to delete all records! Wow that's a big bow to woke.

      Because there are other chromosomal combinations too, like xxy. Disorders and differences of sexual development can cause some xy people develop looking more like females than males where, for example, a chromosomal defect suppresses the testosterone or their body's sensitivity to it. Those kind of cases really do need to be assessed on an individual basis, because they're very rare.
      Everyone else should be categorised according to the main determiner of sex, which is gamete production, i.e whether a body is developed along the 'large gamete production pathway' (to produce eggs in humans so female) or the 'small gamete production pathway' (to produce sperm in humans, so male). Whether a person actually can produce those gametes is irrelevant. Men having no sperm count or EDD doesn't make them female, just like women aren't male after menopause or a hysterectomy. The only thing that matters is the pathway along which the body has developed.

    Since summer, I stopped going to park run and park walk because of the interview Sharon Davies did. I wrote to park run. The local park run wrote back saying they were sorry that I felt that way. Central Park run ignored my email. Whilst every fellow runner agreed with me that it was wrong. Not one of them stopped going to park run. That’s the issue right there. What’s really sad is the women’s reaction was all they they personally would not be setting a record showing no empathy for those that would. Men however had more empathy for women and the fairness.

      Sharon Davis, Daly Thompson, Martina Navratilova, Kaitlin Jenner, Riley Gaines + many other sports people are all saying the same thing > Keep women's sports for women, let women compete against other women in elite & non elite sports. Keep sports fair, men in the men's category, women in the women's category & those males who identify as "women" should then have the choice to either compete against their fellow males or to have their own unique category for people who claim not to conform to human binary sex.
      Putting trans "women" (men) into women's sport is not fair, it's not right, and it's very unsporting.

It seems like for some sports they allow transwomen to compete against women until a world class transwoman appears and then they have a rethink. Hopefully they'll then change their rules and ban transwomen. The high school situation in the US is ridiculous and totally unfair. Unlike some international sports who changed their rules as I mentioned the authorities there don't seem to care that boys win girls races. From what I understand these boys don't even have to have hormone therapy to reduce their testosterone although that doesn't make much difference anyway. In the UK high school sport is of no interest to anyone but the school and the parents so I don't know what's happening here. I haven't heard anything about it in the news though.

      Do some women who are born women attempt to be trans and thus have the advantages that come with using Testosterone, like the East German women did? Should those women compete in the male/open category in order to be fair to women who are born women and do not interfere with the body to try to look like a man/ trans?

      Transwomen people aren’t joining these categories- they won’t compete against each other because then they’d need to TRY, they only want to compete against women because they want easy wins and free validation.

      There was a trans category in Berlin a few weeks ago and guess what ??? No trans athletes turned up. The problem here is men ie trans women cheating and getting a thrill out of being in women’s spaces. Let’s be real here when we talk about trans athletes we are talking about the MEN pretending to be women because they have the physical advantage.
      Trans men ie women don’t have the male advantage and don’t compete in men’s sports.
      And they are not a threat in men’s spaces .

    One of the beauties of Parkrun is the self-reg and the lack of faff at the start of the race. However, we can clearly see that this is also now one of its key flaws. We can ignore the records really.

    1) Get competitors to take the Autogynephelia test to see where they really sit on the trans spectrum. 2) Have a Trans category autonomous to other categories....That will open up a new world of jobs for those involved in sports administration as well.

    This lunacy needs to stop. Men who think they’re women need to understand an important thing about being a woman - ‘you can’t have it all’. If you want to transition you have to give up competitive sport. That’s the price. And you can’t use ladies locker rooms either. I’m sure the blokes will be inclusive with you in the men’s.

    • @Justthegoodstuff-gh2xx
      @Justthegoodstuff-gh2xx 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Even if men are not inclusive it doesn't give them the right to go into women's. I'm happy to concede these individuals may need some special accommodations. But they will have to fight for them on truthful grounds (not by declaring they "are women").
