Fair point. Still feels like a bit of a cop out but I guess it shouldn't matter.

I agree it’s a cop out, but it’s better than the situation before. So things are moving in the right direction.

Hopefully the fact that this is front page news will bring it to the attention of more people who maybe weren’t paying attention, just like the Scottish trans rapist story did in the UK.

I’m also hoping to see some politicians doorstepped with questions about it.

Regardless, the boundary doesn't need to be complicated. Got a Y chromosome? Then no women's sports. It's simple. Just takes a cheek swab in tiny fraction of a percentage of cases where there is ambiguity.
