Emily Bridges response to British Cycling’s announcement that going forward there will be a female category, reserved for those born female, and an open category is dripping with entitlement and hyperbole. The women’s sports category was always intended to be for females.

"At the Paris Olympics, the world has seen what happens when you put the safety of women in the hands of fools who say it’s impossible to know what a woman is."

Boxing
Boxing at the Olympics is governed by the IOC. IOC policy is based on inclusion and no presumption of advantage and there is no testosterone limit. Eligibility will largely be left to NGBs whose policies are likely to vary.

There is so much unnecessary speculation and disinformation around the inclusion of the boxers Lin Yu-ting and Imane Khelif in the female boxing category.
Evidence from the IBA and its president confirmed an XY result following a ‘gender’ (sex) test. At this stage the

This rider denied a woman a place on the podium, denied a woman her rightful prize and denied a woman a place on a team. When we include males in female sport we EXCLUDE women. Women are not men with low testosterone.

This is a farce. Everybody knows this is completely unfair. It’s not inclusive of women and girls as a girl lost her place in that team.

Is it fair to allow males to play girls’ basketball?
A teenage boy’s vertical jump vs. a girl is a simple demonstration.
We’ve been talking to the refs after the games and they all agree the situation is unfair.
The refs know.

Excellent news.
World Aquatics has successfully defended its decision to ban trans identifying men from female competition at the Court of Arbitration for Sport ensuring fair play for women.
Breaking: Lia Thomas, who was the first transgender athlete to win a NCAA college title, has lost a legal case against World Aquatics at the court of arbitration for sport.
WA say it is a “a major step forward in our efforts to protect women’s sport”.

A women’s category completely destroyed by the inclusion of men.
Coming to a sport near you soon.
Multiple female athletes dropped out of a women's martial arts tournament last week after being matched up to fight trans-identified males.
In one of the women's divisions, the only participants left competing were men.

I wonder how the teams they compete against feel? Or the losing plate finalists. How about the women who are excluded because this team fields a male player.

The quiet bit spoken out loud. When a males potential hurt feelings (and we all know that Khelif knew the test results long before Paris) are more important than the female being punched in the face.
Grateful to this columnist for making the clearest articulation yet that male feelings are more important than female safety

It is time for all sports at every level to follow the example of World Athletics, World Aquatics, World Rugby and others and step up to protect the female category before a generation of girls is lost to sport entirely.

Crucially Lin Yu-ting did not appeal the decision to CAS and although Imane Khelif initially appealed the decision to CAS he

If the athletes are female as they have stated why have their national federations issued gagging orders on the IBA?
@ForWomenScot
Good he's speaking out. About time.
Both the Algerian and Taiwanese sports bodies in past 24h have issued the IBA with legal gagging orders not to release the genetic test results of Imane Khelif or Lin Yu-Ting.
Now why would they do that if there's nothing to hide?
