In my view, there should be transgender leagues in any sport, separate to men’s and women’s leagues. The many reasons for this have been discussed above. I’m very pro choice and not anti someone changing if they see fit, but it is incredibly unfair on women’s sport for a previous man with all the physical advantages that entails, and that advantage won’t go away. I know some people think it’s a grey area. For me it’s black and white. But that’s just me.

I don't mind if it is social or recreational sport ... but professional and Olympic sports it is just wrong..

 

[The Insomniac]

I cannot think of one good reason why transgender athletes should be allowed to participate in any women's sports..

Exactly Woodsie. Spot on. It will be the end of Women's sport. Although I wouldn't mind hitting off the Ladies tees . Tried everything else to lower my handicap.

While this is great in theory '96, I doubt there would be enough transgender athletes to warrant the creation of a separate category.

So unfortunately, one of the consequences of the choice to transition is you can't compete in professional sport. It's just tough titties I'm afraid.

Agree with your sentiments, but if all the talk of transgenders, it seems there are plenty to warrant a seperate category.

Check out MMa. Fallon Fox came in and cracked a woman's skull....was praised as 'stunning and brave ' instead of the disgrace it was.

It will happen in NRLw and others....it is a joke.

Too many modern people believe in the blank slate equalism that men and women are not different....which is rubbish.

Who remember about 5 years ago the Matildas (ranked top 5 in world football at the time) lost 7 nil to an under 16s boys team (newcastle jets)

On the personal satisfaction, Lia says:

“I’m a woman, just like anybody else on the team. I’ve always viewed myself as just a swimmer. It’s what I’ve done for so long; it’s what I love.” She’s not thinking about wins or records, she insists. “I get into the water every day and do my best.”

Can you identify as a 7? 6 did ok tonight. Or better still can you identify as a dummy half or centre?

But but, paddle pops were 12c when I was a kid and now they’re about $2!!! I demand you sell me one for 12c

Do they still have rainbow paddle pops or has cancel culture seen their demise?

It blew my mind when in my early 30s someone mentioned rainbow paddlepops were caramel flavoured.

I'd just never even thought about it....

Tragic how “ cancel culture “ has seen the demise of a few things and made it inappropriate to say some things that have been a part of life for years.

I’ve got a mate on Facebook who is Greek, we’ve been mates since school.

He calls me “ whitey “ I call him “ wog boy” , we both laugh about it.

My Facebook account was almost terminated last week when I told him I’d been to the Mindil Beach Markets in Darwin and that they had a great Greek food van ( he runs a coffee food van ).

I said to him “ hey Wog Boy you gotta lift your game the food from this one is a amazing “.

I tagged the Mindil Markets in so apparently others could see my comment , I was reported and almost suspended. I had to appeal , and tell them the story to see me not booted !!

You literally can’t say anything these days

Not going to get any better. Australian culture is dying a slow death. 30 years from now the boomers will mostly be gone and so will Australian culture.

Guys relax, rainbow paddle pops are still a thing

Aussie culture is complaining about the cancellation of an ice cream which hasn’t been cancelled.

Its all rainbow paddle pops now...you know 'diversity' and 'inclusion'

I used to always buy Coon cheese, but not anymore since they caved in and changed it's name to Chee, for God's sake Coon was the name of the guy who first created it.
What do the call raccoons nowadays?

Mustn’t be a great tasting cheese if you stopped buying it because of its name.
