They have weight categories - they test for weight.
They have anti-doping rules - they test for doping.
They have sex categories….
They don’t test for sex.
Why?
@DrMakokis
My 10 year old daughter asked me the same. I explained that some troubled people say they don’t feel like a boy or a girl, but it’s not true. While we mustn’t mock them, they’re still boys and girls because ‘non-binary’ is basically nonsense.

It was probably staffed by one person on minimum wage who saw 200 people and thought ‘if I start serving this lot, I’ll never get home and won’t be paid overtime’

She has also donated tens of millions to medical research, founded charities for orphans, poor people and domestic violence victims, and published books for free. She’s a hero and an inspiration.
It’s frightening to see how many people think children should be put on whatever drugs they like, with no trials or evidence, because to do otherwise might make them sad.
I honestly don’t know why they’ve lost their minds like this.
@ICanSeeForever1
They learned of the chemical castration of gay teenagers and specifically decided not to say a word for the sake of their careers. Graham meanwhile couldn’t stay silent. He has a million times their integrity. They are snivelling cowards.

“All my life I have wanted to be female”
Well I wanted to play for Man United, but unfortunately I’m shit at football. Life is tough, grow up.
@JWatsonONeill
A charity for lesbian, gay and bisexual people was taken to court by a bunch of straight people, who challenged its existence. They were rightly told to get to fuck. It’s a great day.
The level of sexual aggression I witnessed while living in India for several years was unlike anywhere else I have ever been. Once a total stranger, a British woman, asked to sleep in my bed and pretend to be my girlfriend on a train ride because a man walking by in the hall had

'Men are going to rape and murder anyway, so there's no point in making it harder for them to do so'
Congrats, it's the worst argument of all time.
@RedEviction
I feel very sorry for this person.
In contrast, I was once hospitalised for several weeks in the UK. Received top quality care, total bill =£0.00.
@PoorQuentyn
The number of people who apparently think Game of Thrones was historical fiction astonishes me.
Did they not notice the dragons and magic? There is no 'back then'... 'in those days'. It's a fantasy world, not medieval England.
@AidanTheJester
Yes I remember previous genocides where the genocide victims marched freely in a group, waving flags, unchallenged and unhindered, before going home.
@BpoolCouncil
The entire point of black/white is that they are readily understandable to everyone, animals can see them and they’re helpful to partially sighted people.

@Mark_J_Harper
It’s absolutely mind-boggling that you, a prominent journalist, actually think that saying ‘a man is a man’ is illegal.
You… you actually believe this?
@HazelAppleyard_
My mum, a lefty feminist all her life, was called a bigot for saying she would rather have a female carer for intimate care. Around that time Rowling tweeted. And that was me done.

Also, the

reported it as a ‘right wing hoax’. When the man was revealed to be a sex offender, they made no retraction or apology.
@Ross_Patterson_
Absolutely astonishing. He has gone out to protest against a book yet freely admits he has no idea what’s in it? What is in these people’s minds?
@msolurin
Ah yes, misgendering. The paper cut of oppression. A non-crime invented by mollycoddled people in the West who have never known true oppression.

@RichardDawkins
For crying out loud. You're asking a professor of biology if he 'forgot' about intersex people?
They are all either male or female. There are only two sexes.

@rinewithoutacat
You want to teach young girls that no matter how hard they work at a sport, they must always make way for entitled males and their special feelings. It's a horrific message. Bodies compete in sports, not 'identities'. Women's sport is for females only.
@jonsopel
How ironic that Farage wanted self-determination for the UK but apparently thinks he gets to lecture the Baltic nations who chose to join the EU and NATO of their own free will.
@Tim_Burgess
As lots of us predicted. The gender cult is about erasing women. Did anyone object to female-only categories in anything until about 5 years ago? Suddenly they’re hateful and bigoted. It’s an absolute joke.
@WelshGasDoc
Of course it's exclusionary. As a man, I should be excluded from female-only hospital wards. It's a good thing men are excluded from them.
@BBCNews
Graham is a hero. He stood against the deranged, misogynistic, homophobic, crackpot trans cult long before it started falling apart and paid a heavy price.
@MonicaHesse
She’s so cunning, hiding her transphobia by deliberately never being transphobic or saying anything transphobic. It’s almost as if she isn’t actually transphobic and you’re looking for something that isn’t there 🤔
@EmilyThornberry
@stonewalluk
Well if that doesn’t comfort the girls watching their sports invaded and destroyed by men in lipstick, I don’t know what will.

“Her career is over” 😂
She’s still writing best-selling novels which are still being made into hit TV series, her books are wildly popular all over the world, the Harry Potter game is breaking sales records and she runs several charities. Career over 🤣
@AdamRamsay
A man lied about his sex, was made head of a rape charity and then called rape victims ‘bigots’ and told them to ‘reframe their trauma’.
Now you’re calling them ‘cry bullies’.
There is something very, very wrong with you.
@frogdylanband
‘Trans is joy’? That is cult-like language. You are woman-hating bullies who are rather brilliantly getting your just desserts. And no, I won’t be donating to Stonewall, whose CEO compared lesbians to racists and who defines cross-dressing men as ‘trans’.
@RoisinMichaux
I don’t understand why so many men are incapable of realising that if they’re not a threat, there’s no reason to take offence when women talk about the men who are.
@georgiaEtennant
We should be telling kids it doesn’t matter what clothes & toys they like, they can be any kind of boy or girl; instead we’re telling them their bodies are ‘wrong’ and need correcting with drugs and surgery. It is absolutely abhorrent.
@KonstantinKisin
I totally agree. What I’ve noticed from some is that ‘misgendering’ is literal violence but literal voilence is justified if in a particular context.
@Paula_Griffin65
I do. My daughter’s club was shut down after the coach left and not a single one of the girls wanted to play mixed football with the boys.
Can you guess why?
@KonstantinKisin
I honestly don’t understand what is controversial about saying this. Is it because they’ve not lived anywhere else? I’ve lived in four countries, all have strengths and weaknesses and Britain is great. I agree with you.
@SmilerTurner
@SVPhillimore
Deadnaming and misgendering, the paper cut of oppression. A non-crime invented by attention-seeking narcissists who have never known true oppression. ‘Gender identity’ is gibberish. Total nonsense.
