@GMB

My interview on @GMB prior to L Hubbard, competing in Tokyo.

There was hysteria b4 the games. The deers in the headlights saying she will dominate.Laurel came last she competed with a massive disadvantage & that disadvantage is androgen deprivation.

"It’s like taking the gas out of the car," says Worley. "When you lose testosterone in your physiology it’s like the car starts to shake when you take the petrol out of it. Certain functions of the body decrease or even stop functioning altogether."

"Everybody needs hormones, it’s just that we need different types of hormones depending on what chromosome type you are. And that's the problem, we've tried to homogenise gender and we've tried to compare apples with oranges.

@WorldRugby

@WorldRugby put together a hurried survey of 200 elite female rugby players stating they had played against elite trans players, when we know there are none registered currently.
@VeritySmith19 made the room go quiet when he asked them to explain what a trans athlete looks like?

@CarolineLayt

and we know they can’t possibly have played against them because @CarolineLayt is the only trans woman to have ever played elite women's rugby union & rugby league. @WorldRugby and their working group never included a single trans woman rugby player at any stage.

They merely compared elite male rugby players compared to elite female players. And their main body of evidence the Wiik study the main author here says it's worthless in relation to trans women in sport.

Are Trans Women competing fairly in Sport?
The threat to women’s sport has been overstated. Boy has it been overstated!

As reported by one media outlet: ”Lia Thomas, a transgender swimmer at the University of Pennsylvania has been shattering pool, meet and program records at the school.

The 22-year-old took down her competition in the 500-yard women’s freestyle preliminaries and finals at the Zippy Invitational at the University of Akron. Her winning time of 4:34.06 is now the best in the country for the event.”

Prior to the 2018 Commonwealth Games and the Tokyo Olympics
the TERFS said Laurel Hubbard was unbeatable even though Hubbard's best lift is a massive 55kg under the world record of Li Wen Wen. In 2018 Hubbard broke her elbow & in Tokyo she came last. omny.fm/shows/afternoo…

The important question isn’t, Do trans women have advantages? What really matters is can trans women & cis women compete against one another in meaningful competition. There’s no indication that trans women are anywhere close to taking over women’s sport, it’s not happening now.

It’s not likely to happen anytime in the future.

Whenever the TERFs have to cite either McKinnon, Fox, Hubbard, Mouncey or the 2 trans HS students in Connecticut as their example of the ’trans advantage remind them not a single trans woman has ever won a sports scholarship
